It was this trailblazing ballet that, in 2013, introduced Richard Siegal to a global ballet audience as a radical voice of his generation and a passionate advocate for a progressive future of the form. UNITXT, originally created with dancers from West Africa and the Bavarian State Ballet, oscillates to the heart-racing beats of musical icon Alva Noto between a classical ballet and a techno-club. For On Body, UNITXT will be reworked with the unorthodox ensemble of Ballet of Difference.
