I'm not into ballet but lean toward contemporary and out-of-the-box work. I was blown away by Steven Petronio's company of 10 athletic dancers. Just 2 pieces were shown as a preview to his 25th season at the Joyce in April. Stunning punches, jabs, fantastic parings of lyrical and angular combinations were presented that I've simply never seen before.
All wore boldly black and white stripped tops, tights or shorts that created, during some of the spinning and tumbling movement, optical blurs and were almost hallucinogenic.
The music consisted of excerpts from Radio Head and others - amplified plucked bass, violins, sax and myriad percussion that absolutely got under my skin.
