Bloom

New York choreographer Stephen Petronio, who’s emerged in the last decade as a major force in American dance, is “gleaming hot on the international dance scene…a movement genius” (New York Press). His explosive, intrepid choreography weds exhilarating speed and raw energy with fluid movement, masterfully expressed emotion and sensual freedom. Collaborations with visionary musicians (Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed), artists and couture designers, Petronio’s works are “pure extravagance” (Associated Press). His most recent piece, Bloom, featuring new music by iconoclastic Canadian singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright, celebrates the vitality and promise of youth.
