Blink

Junior Company - Dutch National Ballet

This little work is about the adolescence in general. I thought this subject will be perfect for dancers of the Junior Comapny. The ballet is light, fresh and, full of energy and emotions. The score is a new version of Spring from Vivaldi Four Season recomposed by Max Richter. Blink offers a quick journey back in time to our innocent and naif experiences, a small window to the time of life when one is young.

It is a pleasant mix of contemporary and commercial dance; ripples, flow, and crazy loops. The game of a loving couple, the weightless floating in the space, freedom, and a wink. The dancers of the Junior Company are putting it down flawlessly.
