Watch a video interview with dancer/choreographer Edwaard Liang at the Joffrey Ballet's blog. In October, The Joffrey will premiere Edwaard's newest work.
Edwaard will be dancing with MORPHOSES at City Center again this Autumn; the interview he so kindly gave me last year remains my all-time most-read blog item. Edwaard has also now been Wikified!
What a great video! Thank you, Philip! I just love Edward (so handsome too!). I'm so glad we'll see him in NYC with Morphoses. I wonder if the NYCB is in talks with him to do a ballet for them in the future? He'd be perfect for a new "Diamonds" project. I was so sad when he left NYCB (twice!).

Oops, I forgot the second "a" in Edwaard's
name. How ironic since I was complaining about reviewers misspelling dancer's names. Mea culpa:;

I'm also hoping NYCB will invite Edwaard to do a ballet there - he certainly knows all the dancers well. His pas de deux, DISTANT CRIES, for Wendy & Peter Boal a few years ago was so ethereal...premiered at the Joyce and then was performed at NYCB.
