This sensual duet—an excerpt from Judith Jamison’s 2005 Reminiscin’—is an emotionally intense showstopper danced to Diana Krall’s sultry rendition of the classic Joni Mitchell song.
See It Live
[This duet] portrays obsessive, melancholic need, as the couple play out a mini-drama made up of passionate lifts, turns, and a gasp-inducing gambit in which she runs to him and lands on his thighs, sticking like Super Glue.
A sometimes startling, inventive and eclectically intimate dance.
