| Description |
"First premiered in 1968 The Fugue is inspired in part by A Musical Offering by Johann Sebastian Bach. This dance trio represents the start of a new direction in the Tharpian canon. Since its creation, it has become a Tharp classic, in which the rigorously plotted choreography draws audiences inside its intriguing workings. The Fugue's primary phase of movement is a 20-count theme that one, two and/or three of its dancers variously execute by way of reversals, inversions, and resequencings, all shaded by individually graded 'attacks and coordinations'." |
