“she stretches and sprawls upon the stage, riding a turbulent emotional sea”

"...using a relatively small movement palette with deep lunges and backward arches, Ms. McGuire created a dreamy, sensual mood. But there were hints of darkness..."

About the Work: Fable, set to the love duet from Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde, captures the anticipation, acceptance, enjoyment and disillusionment of a dark fate. A signature work, Fable captures McGuire’s movement identity most effectively - full-bodied, physically rich, and musical.
