TANZT

Reviews for Tanzt, a new dance piece choreographed by Pett/Clausen-Knight, have just begun to roll in. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to perform my original composition and share the stage with the exceptional dancers James Pett and Rebecca Bassett-Graham, as well as my friend and stellar violinist Alice Barron, with lyrics by Veronica Furman.We presented Tanzt live on September 4th at Cadogan Hall in London, as part of Ballet Nights – a showcase of world-class dance featuring emerging artists, modern masterpieces, and innovative new creations. I was especially pleased to receive a little mention in The Guardian as well.
