“BWW Dance Review: Paul Taylor’s American Modern Dance spotlights New York City Ballet’s Sara Mearns”
by Barnett Serchuk
“Performing short Duncan dances consisting of hips, hops, skipping, running, Mearns was able to commit to the choreography without condescending to it; it was honestly and truthfully presented. She was not trying to put over any message; her steps in their articulation were clear, she was very musical, making her move to Duncan technique a clear desire to take on this challenge in her career, not a one-off. Judging by the warm audience applause, I would rate Mearns a total success in this undertaking.”
