Spring Awakening Choreography Tony — Page 2

I believe what makes Bill T. Jones' choreography so effective is that it is rooted in story telling. The art of narrative through expressive movement is the touchstone for all of modern dance. That is what Bill brings to the table. It is not what the Broadway audience typically thinks of as choreography, and that could hurt its chances, but there is no denying that he was able to evoke the inner life of these character's yearnings in the form of a repeated gesture which starts out with Wendla in a gentle, questioning way and then infects the rest of the cast building in intensity until finally, it explodes.

JG, this isn't the first time it has happened.
