"...gorgeous moments include a spectacular crossing sequence, culminating in the entire company suspended in a simultaneous leap, and a delightful, recurring image of the group swaying like lightly struck bells." — The New York Sun Support for the creation of this work was provided by the Kenneth French Fund for New Works
