The messages left after the beep become inspiration of Garth Fagan's latest work, Phone Tag, Thanks & Things. The prolific choreographer melds old personal voicemails with solo piano music from three composers to create dramatic tension based on each message's content. The piece is pure Fagan, blending Caribbean movement with a classical structure, upending traditional ballet forms along the way. His company's Joyce engagement comes in two programs, both including this latest work and past favorites such as Translation Transition, a piece that contrasts American jazz and the traditional music of Jamaica, and Edge/Joy, featuring Fagan's radical re-envisioning of the stage's space.
