That is breathtaking! It's as though one of the flowers from a Georgia O'Keeffe painting slipped out of the frame for dance.

Oh. My. Heart.

You must watch this. I cannot remember the last time I have seen anything so beautiful!

In this final section, Sperling works up tempest with her gigantic wings while hovering on a box containing a light within.

ICE THEATRE OF NEW YORK

Wednesday afternoon, April 3, is sunny, warm, and windy for the annual performance of Ice Theatre of New York. The sunshine is pleasant, but “warm” and “windy” are hazardous for the skaters of this persistent little troupe, which was founded by Moira North in the early ‘80s. Warmth makes the ice slushy, and random wind gusts add unpredictable resistance to the necessary speed that skating requires for balance and momentum. An attentive audience surrounds the Rink at Rockefeller Center at street level on the west, north, and south sides, and at plaza level on the Fifth Avenue side.

Figure skating and dancing share so many qualities that North regularly reaches out to dance makers, including such notables as Lar Lubovitch, Lucinda Childs, and others, for new repertory. Today’s program of seven dances opens with a piece by Jody Sperling – whose dance pays homage to modern dance pioneer Loie Fuller. “Arctic Memory” is inspired by Fuller’s use of a sea of fabric and by a 43-day arctic science mission to observe global warming that included Sperling.

In the dance, Valerie Levine wears a white unitard and a cape of flowing white material, hand-painted with green veins suggested by patterns in the Arctic ice. The ice was freshly smoothed by the Zambony, allowing Levine to glide swiftly in large circles, waving her arms, extended by rods to make the fabric fly like enormous moth wings. Midway through, the wind whipped a portion of the cape over Levine’s face, forcing her to continue the routine, peering through this accidental veil. But Levine triumphed over the wind’s whimsy to complete a graceful, virtually flawless performance.

“Confessions,” choreographed by Line Haddad for Jessica Huot and Conor Wagar to music by Florence + the Machine, featured clean unisons and some breath-stopping lifts, including a daring overhead layout. Wagar is tall and strong enough to manipulate delicate Huot easily in the difficult lifts but as swift as she in the side by side work.

Theron James is an all-too-rare African-American skater. A striking figure on the ice, he’s tall and elegantly lithe, like the dancer he also is. Wearing a motled pastel green to white to rust tunic and rich chocolate tights, James’s “Presence” is a collaboration between him and choreographer Deneanne Richburg. James remains undaunted by the soft ice in the jumps and spins he tackles gamely to music from Nicholas Britell’s score for the Academy Award-winning film “Moonlight.”

“Revelation” is an intimate, male duet choreographed and performed by Joel Dear and Christian Erwin to a song by Troye Sivan & Jónsí. The men’s close relationship is evinced by their mutual confidence and support, complete with ice-dancing lifts and ballroom embraces. They wear black pants and navy and rust shirts, one navy with a rust yoke, the other with the colors reversed – alter-egos or lovers, we can decide.  

Brother and sister apprentices Oona and Gage Brown dance a very grownup duet by Andrew Lavrik to music by Gary Moore, and Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa. The youngsters pull off some striking maneuvers that older skaters might not risk in today’s conditions. In the riskiest move, he reclines over her thigh, as she, in a deep squat, maintains sufficient speed to avert a potentially dangerous spill.

Sarah France, a veteran of John Curry’s renowned ice show, skates “When Atoms Embrace” by Lorna Brown to Arvo Pärt’s “Spiegel im Spiegel” in a variegated, veined, lavender and blue unitard. Her dramatic presence conquers the challenges of wind gusts and increasingly slow ice.

And the final sextet by Elisa Angeli, “Love Runs Out,” is skated by Angela Chiang, Jennifer Gruver, Freddie Moore, Stephanie Spencer, Huot, and Wagar. The piece to music by One Republic alternates between ensemble formations, three couple passages, and four women circling Huot and Wagar as he presses her overhead and spins.

After a center ice bow, the company laps the rink a couple of times, acknowledging the obviously impressed audience’s enthusiastic applause. And in their post-performance cool-down the skaters good-naturedly discuss the less-than-ideal conditions they’d had to face for their big annual show – and indeed, they did overcome like champs.
