These days, dancers with extensive ballet training like members of Armitage Gone! and those in companies like NYCB are frequently called upon to transform the skills and control that they spent years developing in order to convey a semblance of spontaneity, even helplessness. In contrast, the great classical works more and more conjure up idylls of an order that's imperiled in today's world.
