STEPEHN PETRONIO COMPANY
Stephen Petronio's dance movements are fierce and sensual, and his company of eight is always physical and hot. Plus, he is one of the hippest choreographers around, as evidenced by the music he commissions for his dances -- "This is the Story of a Girl in a World" features work by Antony, Lou Reed and Nico Muhly; "Beauty and the Brut" has a score by Fischerspooner; and Rufus Wainwright provides the score for "BLOOM."
