"Watching Ligeti Move: Three Ballets by Christopher Wheeldon"; "Rules of Engagement"

Any one of Christopher Wheeldon's dances to Ligeti would confirm this choreographer's astute craft and hint at an originality still struggling to emerge from a self-imposed tutelage under great masters. All three pieces proved that more can be less. The thrill of JoAnna Mendl Shaw's Rules of Engagement lay in the danger one sensed--and the erotic undercurrent present--in the close encounters of beast and human. Village Voice 11/1/05
