“Morris taps both our most primal and our most sophisticated responses to music... there are also his exceptional imagination; his phenomenal wit; the profundity of his view of society; his insistence on live music; and his exceptionally honest, natural dancers – but it’s fundamental.” The New York Times

An Arts & Lectures Co-commission

Mark Morris Dance Group’s evening-length work, The Look of Love, is the newest collaboration from choreographer Mark Morris and arranger Ethan Iverson. An homage to the chart-topping songs of Burt Bacharach – including popular compositions for Dionne Warwick such as “Walk on By” and “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again” – the piece features original choreography, a live musical ensemble and lush new arrangements of more than a dozen legendary hits by the multi-award-winning composer.

Stay after the performance for a Q&A with Artistic Director/Choreographer Mark Morris and arranger Ethan Iverson.
