WORLD PREMIERE
2004 (As a birthday tribute for Joan Weill)
This duet—an excerpt from Judith Jamison’s 2005 Reminiscin’—is a “steamy, emotionally intense” (The New York Times) showstopper danced to Diana Krall’s sultry rendition of the classic Joni Mitchell song.
[This duet] portrays obsessive, melancholic need, as the couple play out a mini-drama made up of passionate lifts, turns, and a gasp-inducing gambit in which she runs to him and lands on his thighs, sticking like Super Glue.
A sometimes startling, inventive and eclectically intimate dance.
