JESSICA LANG DANCE

The New York Times was rhapsodic when Jessica Lang’s new choreographic work had its premiere at the Brooklyn Academy of Music this past December: “If a Romantic poet were moved to praise the virtues of Jessica Lang’s The Wanderer, he would have many to list. The production, which translates Schubert’s song cycle Die Schöne Müllerin into dance, is a work of high craftsmanship. With great ingenuity, Ms. Lang’s fine dancers shape it into myriad forms as they tell the story.” Lang, formerly a dancer with Twyla Tharp, and her young company, only a handful of years old, have truly taken the dance world by storm. Also on the program will be The Calling: one dancer and a 20-foot-long white skirt, a striking image in motion.
