DANCE REVIEW - Loud Tables, but Not a Restaurant The mighty roar of 20 metal tables dragged across the floor is heard not throughout the land but at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, where William Forsythe's splendid dancers in Ballett Frankfurt are staging the grandest of all finales this week. As the dancers race to the rear of the stage, pulling five rows of tables whose legs scrape and bounce on a flat surface, the program ends with a high-decibel screech. The sound of this visualized adrenaline rush is both exhilarating and ambiguous: part earthquake, part industrial noise, part joyous release. As usual, the best advice for looking at Mr. Never mind that his springboard for the table piece ''One Flat Thing, reproduced'' had something to do with Robert Scott's failed expedition to the South Pole. What one saw on Tuesday night at the opening of the academy's Next Wave Festival is one of the best programs that Mr. Yet Mr. The program has been stunningly and methodically structured to build into intricacy and complexity.

Toying with the laws of physics: Elizabeth Streb’s latest dance performance The last time I slammed into a wall, it hurt. I’m not too fond of falling off three-story buildings, either. The laws of physics can be so unforgiving. I heard about Streb’s work last month from Harvard physicist Lisa Randall, who has acquired some renown in artistic circles for her opera inspired by the concept of extra spatial dimensions. Streb distinguishes her work from ballet and modern dance, which, she says, seek to camouflage the forces of nature. The parkour-like acrobatics weren’t even my favorite parts of her show. Dancers walk up a wall in Elizabeth Streb’s latest show; courtesy of George Musser William Forsythe Choreographic Objects: Biography has been active in the field of choreography for over 45 years. His work is acknowledged for reorienting the practice of ballet from its identification with classical repertoire to a dynamic 21st century art form. Forsythe's deep interest in the fundamental principles of organization has led him to produce a wide range of projects including Installations, Films, and Web based knowledge creation. Biography Raised in New York and initially trained in Florida with Nolan Dingman and Christa Long, Forsythe danced with the Joffrey Ballet and later the Stuttgart Ballet, where he was appointed Resident Choreographer in 1976. After the closure of the Ballet Frankfurt in 2004, Forsythe established a new ensemble, The Forsythe Company, which he directed from 2005 to 2015. Awards received by Forsythe and his ensembles include the New York Dance and Performance “Bessie” Award (1988, 1998, 2004, 2007) and London’s Laurence Olivier Award (1992, 1999, 2009).

Forsythe’s eclectic, intellectual starting point was a consideration of the risk and adventure of Robert Scott’s arctic expeditions, during which explorers relied on each other for survival, juxtaposed with his own interest in the idea of a “baroque machinery,” an ornamental, highly organized construct that runs like clockwork.

Ballet Frankfurt One Flat Thing, reproduced (2000) BALLET FRANKFURT The Room as it Was Duo (N.N.N.N.) One Flat Thing, reproduced Oct 5, 2003 / Brooklyn Academy of Music / New York City Review by EDWARD LUNA In the US, the dances created by William Forsythe and his Ballet Frankfurt are known primarily for their contorted, geometric, and formal qualities. This is contemporary European dance at its most obtuse and abstract; with harsh, minimalist lighting, electronic music scores, rail-thin dancers, and frequent use of text. Such experimentalism often receives a rather cool reception here, where dance audiences are more accustomed to the lyrical/musical style of Mark Morris, or the pastiched African-Americana of Bill T. Jones. The Forsythian project, by contrast, is at once more ambitious and more modest than that of the latter choreographers. The opener, called The Room as it Was (2002) features four female and four male dancers. The piece eventually shifts into a completely new setup. Duo (1996)
