It's always a treat when dancers activate a space filled with lush visual art, especially if the space is intimate.  In “Ephemeral solace (in passing)," New York City Ballet principal Taylor Stanley, and soloist Alec Knight curled, twirled and slithered through UK-based sculptor and installation artist Nicola Turner's "Fabric of Undoing" at CARVALHO PARK.  Stanley and Knight made the 20 minute work by choreographing on each other, and exploring how they see each other move. At the top, and later surrounded by three of Turner's cushion-like, adaptable pieces, Stanley, in a brown unitard, gets lost and becomes one with Turner's mix of chocolate colored, salvaged, horsehair and wool pieces. We were very close so getting those infrequent glances from Stanley or Knight was a solid dismissal of the performer audience divide.

Performances continue at CARVALHO PARK (112 Waterbury St), March 4, 7:00 PM March 8, 2:00 PM, and March 15, 2:00 PM.
