Description Dancers soar through the air, arcing and twisting in a memorable, exquisite performance of athletic drama and subtle sensuality. Meryl Tankard, formerly a principal dancer with Pina Bausch's famed Tanztheater Wuppertal, makes her American debut with Furioso. In this aerial dance-theater piece, the male dancers remain firmly earthbound while their female counterparts dance suspended in mid-air. Tankard is best known for her stunning choreographic invention, and for the exceptional physicality of her work. "For me, there are no boundaries," she says.
