...Despair,” “Eat Pray Love,” and “Teanga Eile/Second Tongue.” “Twenty Love Poems” featured Daniela F. Joffe ’10 and Merritt A. Moore ’10 in a ballet-inspired dance (choreographed by Joffe) that showcased their skill and stage presence. The accompaniment of pop musician Sia Furler’s “Breathe Me” perfectly complemented the movements, with appropriate intensity to match the passionate dance. The interaction between Moore and Joffe was sensual...

The piece’s style also differentiated it from the other two dances. Choreographers conceived “On the Brink” as an abstract ballet, and the dancers’ performance was technically exquisite, with ensemble movement perfectly synchronized. The piece was by far the most energetic of the three, and “On the Brink” demonstrated a much clearer emotional journey than the preceding works. As the dance opened, the dancers...
