Not that you’d notice. “The dances he has made this millennium suggest, amazingly, that no choreographer alive is more concerned with continuing to extend his range… Often what’s distinctive occurs at the basic level of dance vocabulary. One of the supreme step-makers of all time, he delights in splicing one known step onto another to come up with something unprecedented.”
