Dores André and Steven Morse in Christopher Wheeldon’s Continuum, San Francisco Ballet, April 2016. © Erik Tomasson.Wheeldon choreographed Continuum for SFB in 2002, and it still reigns as his best creation for them. It showcases the SFB dancers’ sophisticated musicality; the more challenging the rhythms, the more deeply a piece of music seems to engage them. Here, four couples, including André and Morse, danced György Ligeti keyboard works that ballet master Anita Paciotti describes as “nearly uncountable” but seem melodious when paired with their perfectly attenuated movement. -- source link
