Jessica Lang Dance performed at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in 2012
A former member of Twyla Tharp's dance company THARP!, Jessica Lang is known for her artfully crafted, emotionally engaging contemporary ballets. She has created more than 75 works for important dance companies including The Joffrey Ballet, Washington Ballet, Ailey II, and ABT II, among others.
A program chock-full of variety shows Lang as a prolific choreographer, and included the duet Among the Stars, called an "exquisite lyrical performance filled with sensual chemistry" (Dallas Dance Examiner); the dramatic and rigorously structured dance work Lines Squared; and The Calling, a gorgeous female solo set to the music of Gustav Mahler; among other works. This program marked the full dance company debut of Jessica Lang Dance, an ensemble of leading ballet dancers headed for stardom.
