"A standout was Kirsten Wicklund's powerful pas de deux Overcast.  The longtime Ballet BC dancer has been making a splash with her choreography on local stages, and she's developing a distinctive voice.  Think classical technique, but supercharged and devoid of frailty.  The brilliance is the perfectly matched pairing of Jordan Lang and Parker Finley, muscular dancers in identical beige bodysuits, Finley en pointe.  Arms slice the air and backs ripple, but the piece finds incredible strength in still poses as well.  Set to the flickering electronica of Ben Foster, Field Works, and Loscil, the partnering is dazzling.  At one point he goes from hoisting her upside down to horizontal over his shoulder then upright above his head --not at lightening speed, so it seems even more physically punishing.
