"Of the two world premieres on this program, the more memorable by far was “Pitch Pause Please,” a solo for Jessica Collado, set to a commissioned and adroit score by Samuel Adams, which offers unexpected accents and recorded segments. The music was performed onstage by Andrew Meyerson, while the dancer, a brilliant young artist, sought tension in silky combinations that seemed a riposte to the jangling music."
