Dancing on the Front Porch of Heaven excerpt | Pacific Northwest Ballet

Set for three couples in white unitards and subtitled Odes to Love and Loss, Dancing on the Front Porch of Heaven was choreographed by Ulysses Dove for the Royal Swedish Ballet in 1993. According to New York Times dance critic Jennifer Dunning, Dove “suggests a broken flow of relationships by placing his solos and duets in a chain of white spotlights.” Dove himself explained, “To me, Arvo Pärt’s music can send souls to heaven. I want to tell an experience in movement, a story without words, and create a poetic monument over people I loved.”
Dancers: Pacific Northwest Ballet Soloist James Kirby Rogers and corps de ballet member Christopher D'Ariano.
