“Sara Mearns Leaps Thrillingly Over the Lines with ‘Beyond Ballet’ at Jacob’s Pillow”
by Janine Parker
“Mearns, who gobbles up space with a thrilling largesse, a glistening musicality, and a formidable, clarifying technique, is an authentic mover regardless of what she’s dancing. This doesn’t mean she’s now a Duncan or a Cunningham expert — she’s not: these things take time and deep immersion. But she’s interested in exploring their movement, and is thus interesting to watch.”
