Wendy Whelan Conversations on "Restless Creature"



Every relationship has a story.  Dancers do not tell that story, but rather express it and work at getting their audience to feel it.


Go farther, do deeper.  My T'ai Chi instructor knew I excelled at learning and doing the form.  Once I had it precise, he exhorted, make it more precise.  Seek that kind of challenge.

I just want to spend time with you, artistically.  It's like dating, but not dating.  There is sexual energy between them.  
Wendy Whelan is arguably the finest ballet dancer of our time. She has danced with New York City Ballet for more than 25 years, and has mastered classics such as Swan Lake, Balanchine's masterful neo-classical repertory, and contemporary works by some of the world's greatest choreographers. 
Only at Jacob's Pillow this summer, she embarks on a new dance adventure and joins forces with four of today's top male choreographers in the world premiere of Restless Creature. Together with her collaborators, she will perform a vibrant suite of four contemporary duets each with its own distinct style and artistry, created by and danced with Kyle Abraham, Joshua Beamish, Brian Brooks, and Alejandro Cerrudo.
