Unleashing Wendy Whelan's Restless Creature

On March 28th and 29th, the Celebrity Series of Boston will present acclaimed dancer Wendy Whelan in a performance of "Restless Creature."

For over 25 years, Wendy Whelan has captivated audiences of the New York City Ballet with her elegant yet thrilling movement and her exacting, intelligent approach to performing. Restless Creature is a collaboration with four young choreographers to create a suite of duets that will be performed by Wendy and each of the four choreographers in turn. Wendy Whelan joined City Ballet as a 17-year old apprentice and has been celebrated by critics for her intensity and distinctively angular physique. She has originated roles in works by William Forsythe, Wayne McGregor, Alexei Ratmansky, and most notably, Christopher Wheeldon. From 2007 to 2010, Mr. Wheeldon gave her an off-season home in his troupe, Morphoses. More recently, she has been a guest artist with Stephen Petronio and the Martha Graham Dance Company.
