	Great Performances: Free To Dance - Biographies - Garth Fagan
		Garth Fagan was born in Jamaica, West Indies.
		Fagan came to the United States at age 20 to attend college after training and performing with Ivy Baxter and the Jamaica National Dance Theater in his teens.
		After extensive training with him, Fagan's dancers, like those of George Balanchine, achieve a certain look, regardless of the body they started with: long, lean, leggy, muscular, yet retaining their individuality onstage, his dancers move quickly with precision and energy from storklike balances to fluid leaps and spiraling jumps that spring from no apparent preparation.

	Garth Fagan - David Vaughan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		Fagan’s piece is also implicitly anti-war, in part in abstract terms—Billy Bang’s jazz score (also played live) is taken from a CD entitled “Vietnam—The Aftermath.” But the central duet for Norwood Pennewell and Bill Ferguson could not be more explicit, as its subtitle “KIAMIA,” an acronym for “Killed in Action, Missing in Action,” makes clear.
		The third movement is an affirmation of hope, in a duet for young lovers (Annique Roberts and Guy Thorne) and a solo for Sharon Skepple that is literally incredible, in the sense that you cannot believe your eyes as she holds long-sustained extensions against dislocations of the torso.
		Fagan is known as a fl choreographer, but the essential humanism of his work transcends the limitations this might imply.

	The Dance: Garth Fagan Troupe - New York Times
		Fagan's choreographic style is just as much his own - a style that makes a virtue of the rough as well as the smooth, one that quietly communicates the great joy and freedom trained dancers can experience when they move.
		Fagan often used his choreographic vocabulary and style as a vehicle for quirkily bouncy comedy.
		His use of light, designed by himself and David Moore, almost as partner to the dancers and as a metaphor for the passion that sweeps these autonomic, sculpted bodies across the stage, captures the understated theatricality with which these dances are imbued.

		The result was original, a word that had definitely been dropped from my critical vocabulary, but a word that everyone seems to reach for when struggling to describe Garth Fagan Dance.
		The one thing that saves Garth Fagan's work is the supreme technical skill of his dancers.
		Fagan's choreography is not good enough to rely on his so-called technique, or the ability of his dancers' near perfection, to carry a whole performance beyond the merely obvious.

		Garth Fagan Dance has been going for thirty years and toured the world extensively.

		And it’s delivered with spectacular aplomb by dancers who look as though they were born perching on one leg with the other foot around their ears — a classic Fagan signature - or executing three split leaps per second before they could walk, so attuned are they to his style.
