Tere O’Connor Dance
“Five dancers — Hilary Clark, Daniel Clifton, Erin Gerken, Heather Olson and Matthew Rogers — stand before it in semi-darkness, their bodies slightly curved and etched in stark silhouette. As their muscles and tendons twitch to life, elbows become pronounced, knees soften and the dancers begin to move faster, soaring through the air with a sparkling array of leaps. (Here and elsewhere Mr. O’Connor’s command of structure is unflinching.) ”
“Mr. O’Connor seems to be charting new territory in “Wrought Iron Fog.” Much of its unassuming beauty is seen in his agility at guiding dancers through space (or is it the space that guides them?), with choreography that allows the structure to expand and shrink with a curious blend of dexterity and fervor.”
