About Crossword

Description

Jennifer Muller created this witty ballet for the company in 1977 to Burt Alacantra’s feel good, semi-electronic music. A giant crossword puzzle hangs as the backdrop while dancers, each of whom have a letter sewn on the back of their costume, constantly move with sharp dynamics. Throughout the piece, the dancers “solve the puzzle” by arranging themselves and forming words.
