It was a blustery night in Grand Rapids on Friday, but everything was warm and cozy in the Peter Martin Wege Theatre for the opening of “MOVEMEDIA: Handmade,” a night of new works by the Grand Rapids Ballet. The two headliners of the evening: choreographer-in-residence Penny Saunders and Nicolas Blanc, whose “Aquatic Hypoxia” marks his first work for this company.
“It’s not the first time Blanc’s set a dance beneath the water’s surface, and unlike many of his contemporaries, he works with a refreshing degree of transparency, leaving little doubt about the subject of his piece. Blanc’s stunning choreography is danced with overt passion.”
