Review: THE CRUCIBLE at Eisenhower Theater
by Mary Lincer - May 25, 2023

What did our critic think of THE CRUCIBLE at Eisenhower Theater? Choreographer Helen Pickett does in her ballet The Crucible just exactly what Arthur Miller attempted in his 1953 play, her source.

Review: COPPELIA, Sadler's Wells
by Franco Milazzo - Mar 6, 2023

When Coppelius asks Swanhilda “do you derive more pleasure from running your finger along your lover’s skin or across the glass surface of your phone?”, Coppélia holds a brutal mirror up to modern society in a way no ballet has for quite some time.
