New Works Review

A week ago I went to see PNB's New Works performance. The there were three performances; 1) A Million Kisses to My Skin, 2) Cylindrical Shadows, and finally 3) Mating Theory. To kick off the performance they started with David Dawson's A Million Kisses to My Skin. This was my personal favorite, and I gave the performance a 9.5/10. My other two friends that attended the show each gave it a 9/10. I liked the way the costumes and the lighting worked out, and the dance seemed to give off an In the Middle Somewhat Elevated feel.
Next was Cylindrical Shadows, my least favorite. Now before I say what I want to say, keep in mind that I love the classics far more than any contemporary ballet. There, now that that's out of the way, I can safely say I gave it a 5/10. Let me also say, I DO NOT BLAME THE DANCERS! They were fabulous. I give them all a 10/10. Honestly...it was the music. It started out normal-ish...and ended with like random bird calls and someone chanting things about shadows. If that's your thing...I sugest that you go see it. If your a classic freak like me however...I'd steer you away from it. However I did like that Karel Cruz and Lindsi Dec did a partnering sequence at the end. :) I give them an 11. :D
Finally it ended with Mating Theory. I liked it, and the dancing was great, but like I've said before, I'm not a fan of contemporary. Still that said, I did like it and thought it was interesting. My only criticism; maybe not dress everyone in grey. But other than that it was good. :)

Finally, as some of you may remember, I posted about their season next year (THEY'RE DOING SWAN LAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). But I realized I failed to post the article that told me about it. So...here it is!
