“Iambus showcases the sunny “I love to dance” exuberance of all seven athletic members of Lehrer’s newly formed company. Set to taped music of Bobby McFerrin and Yo Yo Ma, the piece is rooted in the contrast between flow and sculpted multi-body constructions. The dancers happily invade each other’s space to connect, break apart, and recombine with daring speed and high-flying abandon. Their swift transfers of energy create both riveting visual design and breathtaking physical excitement.”
