“She is an american original. From Deuce Coupe to Push Comes to Shove, from Once More Frank to Hair and The Catherine Wheel, from nine sinatra songs and Movin’ Out to Americans We, the breathtaking In The Upper Room and beyond, twyla tharp has changed the face of american dance. With disarming brashness, she has been clear about her life’s work. ‘Modern dance is not less,’ she has said, ‘modern dance is more.’”
