does anyone know where this was performed?

Although my training is in fairly classical modern I absolutely adore this current style on display here where the dances are more "moment to moment" and less "count to count" if you know what I mean. It's really an endless kaleidoscope of kinesthetic virtuosity done effortlessly by the dancers with a choreographers vision that includes the smallest details and the big picture. Fantastic.

Oh my god - this is a JOKE, right?

To call this Ballet of any kind is like making an orangutan drink a gallon of coffee, giving him twenty gallons of different colored paints, letting him freak out with it, and calling the result "a thrilling, original, post modern successor art form."

You really have to be a pretentious, pseudo-intellectual retard with the depth of a puddle of mud to call THIS CRAP "Art."

No one is trying to call this "Ballet." Someone as ignorant as to think this artist is trying to create "ballet" here is obviously uneducated in dance form and history. Such ignorance is tantamount to listening to a conversation in a language one is unfamiliar with and asserting that the conversation is meaningless gibberish.

Dance is a language. If you can't speak it, don't pretend to understand it.

no words to describe it.

Jenkins seems to find (at least in this brief video) a comfortable and fluid balance between the articulate nature of contemporary movement and the often performance-art/stationary world which modern dance is seeming to inhabit more and more, recently. I especially enjoy the partnering in this dance, which uses physical weight as a source of momentum and force, but also elaborates on the heaviness with contrasting intricate gestures and expanding lines.

Just when you think Marge has done it all, she manages to make very clear that her inspirational and creative waters are fathomless.
