A mandatory evacuation scuppered my chances of watching the first show of Chicago’s Joffrey Ballet at the Granada, which featured George Balanchine’s The Four Temperaments, but I was able to catch the second day’s three-part performance under Scottish artistic director Ashley Wheater.
The show kicked off impressively with Justin Peck‘s In Creases featuring two grand Steinway pianos head to head and the monochromatically-costumed performers showing their considerable choreographed talents.
Nicholas Blanc‘s solo in Encounter was sublime, as were the show’s two other works, Joy and Mammatus.
They can’t come back soon enough…
