...construct the kind of ice show he envisioned. Curry choreographed two numbers himself and invited eight choreographers from the dance world - Peter Martins, Twyla Tharp, Norman Maen, Kenneth MacMillan, Jean-Pierre Bonnefous, Donald Saddler, Douglas Norwick and Robert Cohan - to do the others. He would explain what a skater could technically do, and they proceeded from there, excited by the prospect of a fluidity and motion denied them on an ordinary dance floor.

CHOREOGRAPHER Twyla Tharp is New York's new superstar. The Loeb caught her February 5-7 at the tail end of a series of Tharp profiles in The New York Times Magazine and The Village Voice. As a result, Tharp's style is now publicly well-defined: snatches of pop dance and everyday gesture emerging from tightly-paced choreography; cool, aloof dancers tossing off precise wiggles, shimmies and shrugs. It adds up to a complex choreographic vision...
