“Review: Classical dancers interpret post-modern work of Jodi Melnick”
by Eliza Ingle
“It is especially thrilling to see Columbia-native Sara Mearns walk through the audience and enter the stage from the front of the theater — quite a different perspective than the usual majestic Lincoln Center stage entrance. She is joined by fellow dancers Angel and Stanley (the latter new to the role after the original dancer suffered an injury).

The sheer simplicity and straightforward dancing makes the powerful presence of the dancers extraordinary.“
