Wendy Whelan Restless Creature
Sat. April 25th at 8 p.m.
Ohio Theatre
Playhouse Square
Presented by DANCECleveland
Wendy Whelan, hailed by The New York Times as
“America’s most celebrated ballerina,” joins forces with four of
America’s top contemporary male choreographers, Kyle Abraham, Josh
Beamish, Brian Brooks, and Alejandro Cerrudo for an evening of dance
that has garnered critical raves since its debut in 2013. Arguably the
finest ballet dancer of our time, Whelan danced with New York City
Ballet for more than 25 years. She embarked on a new dance adventure
with this vibrant suite of four contemporary duets, each with its own
distinct style and performed with the choreographers who created them.
This combination is a magical match that both ballet and modern dance
aficionados will love!
"It’s hard to think of another woman who could dance these pieces, by
four different choreographers, half so strikingly. Everything about her
is riveting, interesting, unusual, intelligent." - Alastair Macaulay,
The New York Times
"(Ms. Whelan) is one of those artists who
submerge their physical selves into their art in such a way that
humanness is, for a few sublime moments, transcended." - Janine Parker,
The Boston Globe
