Sara Mearns

Sara Mearns in Ratmansky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, New York City Ballet, Pictures at an Exhibition, October 2014. - Some dances, including the first solo (by Sara Mearns), had a wild, improvisatory, part-stumbling, part-inspired quality. The tailor-made nature of the ballet’s solos reflects one of Mr. Ratmansky’s greatest gifts: dancers are vividly, individually, intimately revealed.
