Tiler Peck’s innate musicality and quicksilver movement were imperiously showcased in her Barre Project collaboration with Bill Forsythe. Made to the driving impulse of James Blake’s music, this exploration of dynamic pace and technique for Peck and three male dancers provided an emphatic opening.
Peck stayed in the wings for Thousandth Orange, her choreography to Caroline Shaw’s music for strings and piano, performed onstage, danced by a sextet dressed in vivid colours. Peck’s abstract choreography is smooth, unhurried with silky lines and striking group imagery.
