Ballet Festival: Joshua Beamish/MOVE: the company

Ballet Festival: Joshua Beamish/MOVE: the company David Cooper

Canadian born choreographer Joshua Beamish takes the Joyce stage with a dazzling program featuring the US premiere of burrow, a duet for Royal Ballet dancers Matthew Ball and Nicol Edmonds, and the world premiere of Surface Properties, an ensemble work performed by ten American Ballet Theatre dancers in which the brash, relentless music of Mark Mellits and Michael Gordon informs the artists’ astounding speed and precision. Also on the program—excerpts from Pierced, Beamish’s 2013 piece exploring the dark side of love.

One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
