The international ocus then turns to Australia, with terriic

perormances by Chunky Move and Sydney Dance

Company, and, in late January, we close with Jin Xing

Dance Theatre Shanghai, perorming Shanghai Tango,

An exciting part o the season will be its emphasis on

dramatic work. Morphoses will make its Joyce debut with

Greek drama, and the always intriguing Martha Clarke

Israel Galvn, a winner o

Spains prestigious National

Dance Award, opens the Joyceall season with a sensational

solo perormance that shows

why he has been called the

William Forsythe o amenco.Perorming to pulsating live

music that drives his lightning

fast footwork, Galvn embodies

a post-modern approach to

amenco that strips the art

down to its bare essence and

gives it an inspired twist. Heis seductive without trying to

be, proclaims The New York

Times, and i this is what new

amenco means, bring it on.

Santangelo, perorm amenco in

Alastair Macaulay o The NewYork Times, I can think o no

current ballet star in the world as
