The Second Detail
Throughout his creative career, William Forsythe has consistently reaffirmed his credentials as a master of unexpected assembly and developed his own highly original style. The Second Detail is pure, unadulterated Forsythe: unconventional, complex, playful and highly physical. With its breathtaking technique and its love of pure movement, this piece allows the audience to relax and embrace the evident joy of the dancers. Unrestrained delight is warmly welcomed within the context of this powerful, energy-laden work in which the potential of the balletic body is celebrated to the full.
