	William Forsythe (dancer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Forsythe (born December 30, 1949 in New York City) is an American dancer and choreographer who became known internationally for his work with the Frankfurt Ballet.
		His work is extremely post-modern spirited ballet with a great use of distorted classical ballet techniques, sometimes so that it is barely recognisable except for the use of pointe shoes.
		Dancing Forsythe's choreography is extremely taxing and demands unusual extremes of strength, flexibility and speed.

		Forsythe's detractors were also apparently unhappy about his leadership of the city's avant-garde theater, the Teater am Turn (TAT), and the fact that Ballet Frankfurt's new works have been performed there rather than at the opera house.
		Forsythe was told that the city wanted to keep him and the company but that the budget remained a serious problem.
		Both sides agreed not to discuss the substance of the talk, but Forsythe commented that, though the atmosphere was more conciliatory, he was unable to say with complete confidence that the company's future was guaranteed.

		Two: the American born choreographer of this company, William Forsythe, is a man credited with having changed the face of classical dance.
		At the end, of course, one is aware that the whole has been carefully crafted, but the most compelling pieces have a quality of improvisation because the timing of the movements and the energy they propel are taken off each other.

	William Forsythe Returns to Paris
		PARIS, 5 April 2006—The exciting Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude, a ballet created in 1996 for William Forsythe's Frankfurt troupe and first danced by the Paris Opéra Ballet three years later, was re-programmed at the Palais Garnier alongside Approximate Sonata and Artifact Suite, two Forsythe works new to the Paris repertoire.
		It is a rapid, dynamic work for two men and three women and is full of energy and vitality, and although all five dancers were excellent, it was Emilie Cozette, with her natural grace and charm, who carried the ballet.
		Although small and slight, she possesses the technique and personality to dance Forsythe and gave a new dimension to the choreography.

		Notwithstanding that comic use of pointe, this is the section where the dancers are most modernly employed, both in the disjointed, Grenkian, warped, crippled way they move and simply in what they're wearing, mostly hobo chic for the men and variations on leotards for the women.
		As artifacts go, it would be interesting if our reactions as audiences (not just as critics) to William Forsythe's "Artifact" could also be recorded at the various epochs of auditing.
		A nasty term, that -- and I hear you saying that it's not an artist's job, and should hardly be his or her ideal, to appeal to the masses.
