Twyla Tharp's In the Upper Room
Loading...
Uploaded by houstonballet on Sep 24, 2009
Set to a pulsating score by Philip Glass, In the Upper Room is a signature work for Twyla Tharp, which contrasts the power and energy of modern dance with the speed and aerial dexterity of a more classical language.

great music and decent choreography altho I feel like the costumes take away from the lines of the dancer and aren't aesthetically very pleasing

@LittleLauraAlexandra This particular piece is on an Phillip Glass album called Dancepieces. It has a few other pieces from In the Upper Room.
-
The whole album, and most of Philip Glass' other work, is on Spotify.

bad pas de deux.

Tharp is highly overrated. She managed to find her niche by comercializing her choreography for mainstream entertainment, allowing her financial success that most concert oriented choreographers (practically all, actually) will never achieve. Financial success is not the same as artistic acheivement, however. Nevertheless, she continues to be commissioned by noted dance companies while all she ever did was create some razmatazz for Broadway and film productions.

It's called "In the Upper Room". Glass wrote it specifically for this piece.
