B. Millepied and his company L.A. Dance Project are performing Quintett this weekend (9/22) in L.A. at Disney Hall. Interesting that works like Quintett surface in multiple places at once.

Commenting as a professional musician, I think the word you want at the end of the interview that improves on latent is “implied”, which is the standard term for bass lines or melody that suggest an accompaniment or a subsidiary structure. I review dance for Dance Channel TV on the website blog as well as for DancePlug.com and seedance.com. A review of the L.A. Dance Project program (Quintett, Winterbranch and a new Millepied work) will be published Sunday on DanceChannelTv.

It is peculiar to me that in such an American city as Chicago, Hubbard Street continues to create an outpost for Euro Zone dance. That is what Edgerton knows of course, so he is going be governed by his history. One could hope for a brave, new direction such as those that Forsythe, Kylian and others like them have created in their home venues rather than a displaced recitation of past achievements, good as they are.
