One of my co-workers had a very interesting take on Wheeldon’s work, calling it extremely sexist. It’s not something I thought of at the time, but looking back I can see what he meant. The women throughout the program weren’t allowed to do much, but were rather lifted and contorted into positions by the male dancers, nothing more than human props.

Molnar’s piece was awful. I felt like she was trying to emulate “In The Upper Room,” which as we both know, should just be left alone. From the repetitive music, to the jittery movement, I kept wanting the piece to evolve and take me to another plane. Alas, no one should try to re-create a masterpiece.

I actually liked Commedia the best, I think. I’m not sure why, because it certainly wasn’t very compelling. It was a welcome break from the serious and somber program that lead into it however – at least the show ended lightly.
