| Whether in Balanchine's airy Sylvia Pas de Deux or in the fast-forward mode of Ballo della Regina, he remains just as gameful when tackling Taylor or Tharp. |
| With characteristic rigor, chutzpah, and humor, Tharp demystifies every step of the creative process. |
| Tharp is known not only for her cutting-edge dances, but also for her pioneering sense of style. |
| Selya also looked at early Tharp dances like Eight Jelly Rolls and Bum's Rush. |
| The last time Twyla Tharp came through town, she parlayed lecture-demonstrations and open rehearsals for an upcoming tour into a little season. |
| Tharp compares the work to a game of jacks, one in which you pick up an increasing number of pieces with one hand while bouncing a ball in the other. |
