Sara Mearns in “The Shimmering Asphalt” by Pontus Lidberg, New York City Ballet, January 2017. Photograph by Andrea Mohin.The only dancer who manages to stand out is Sara Mearns, who, at various points, walks on, with exquisite slowness, facing the audience, moving as if lost in her own thoughts. Later, she joins a quartet of men, only to be lifted up by them, arms extended to the sides, like a totem. Mearns has mastered the art of stage presence; seemingly without trying she holds the audience in her thrall, drawing it into her inner world. -- source link
