Description Physical agility, loads of attitude and a dash of chic-cool define William Forsyth's In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated. Choreographer Nach Duato celebrates human love, passion and longing in Por vos muero, an earthy, passionate work set to poetry and ancient Spanish music. The program concludes with Twyla Tharp's In the Upper Room, inspired by the Boston Marathon where the pace is relentless taking the dancers to the brink of exhaustion.
