The North Carolina Dance Theatre saved some of its best for last as Director’s Choice caps off the season with three incredible pieces.
I was taken by the beauty of George Balanchine’s Apollo, performed by David Ingram along with Traci Gilchrest, Alessandra Ball and Anna Gerberich. The program includes Constructing Juliet, with choreography by Mark Godden and Broken Fantasy, another spectacular work by NCDT’s resident choreographer Dwight Rhoden.
