Description Sexy, athletic, witty, Tharp's work owes something to classical dance, something to Broadway, but most to her astonishing imagination. With her new company of dancers, she has created some of her most ambitious works to date, the mood ranging from cheeky to ethereal. 5 dance pieces produced over 2 programs for the festival with the overlap of Sweet Fields in both programs.
