...quick to point out that, as a Dane, he brings a European view to his work. "To me America is the most eclectic country in the world," he says. He carried his quest for variety into his choice of outside choreographers: two of them -- Paul Taylor and Lar Lubovitch -- are modernists who shun pointe work. Although she has choreographed some ballet, Laura Dean is a modernist -- or post-modernist. Martins' decision is controversial; N.Y.C.B. dancers can dance decently barefoot, but why not display them in what they do best? There are some much noted omissions from the roster, including such...
...course in high school. At 14 he joined Koleda, a local, semiprofessional Balkan dance group, where he stomped out the folkloric rhythms. Three years later he went to Madrid and spent six months studying flamenco. After he returned to the U.S. his performing experience continued to be wildly varied: Lar Lubovitch, Laura Dean, Eliot Feld. He never stayed anywhere very long.

Featuring, besides the American Ballet Theater, such performers as the Pilobolus dancers, Shields and Yarnell, and the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company in roles as animals and other fable characters, they present allegories for modern business situations that cannot be considered "subtle." The fables are hard-driving. One declares that "nothing cripples innovation and enterprise like heavy-handed regulation." Another describes an ideal society of animals, played by Lar Lubovitch dancers in sparkling and outlandish costumes. The storyteller for the three-minute dance-and-cartoon visual presentation tells of an elephant...
