Genius2 The next chapter in a brilliant series, Genius2 features works by three of the most renowned choreographers at the vanguard of American dance: high priestess of American dance Twyla Tharp, musical mastermind Mark Morris, and ballet world wunderkind Christopher Wheeldon. TWB artists will noodle their way through Tharp's jazzy Baker's Dozen - one of her wittiest pieces to date. Then they'll leap from the classical to the innovative in Morris's breathtakingly fluid Pacific and Wheeldon's critically hailed and highly physical Morphoses. Provocative and engaging, Genius2 is a season highlight not to be missed!
