Tiler Peck

Tiler Peck in Theme and Variations, New York City Ballet, September 2014. - Peck, through a combination of technical assurance and imagination, has become a master illusionist. A relatively small person, she seems to expand to twice her size in this role, moving through Balanchine’s formal, regal choreography with weight, majesty, and a composure that belies the notorious difficulty of the choreography. She hovers off-balance, throws off blindingly fast chaînés, and turns transitional steps into major events.
