Mark Morris is an American modern dancer, choreographer, and director. He is known for his craftmanship, ingenuity, humor, eclectic musical accompaniments, musicality, power of his dancing, and his amazing delicacy of movement. He out weighs most other dancers yet his technical and expressive abilities out do most other dancers. Mark Morris is popular among dance aficionados as well as main stream audiences. He works a lot on choreographing and directing for opera. He has worked on productions for the Metropolitan Opera, New York City Opera, English National Opera, and the Royal Opera House. Some of his well known works are "Gloria," "Championship Wrestling," "L'Allegro," "Penseroso ed Moderato," "Dido and Aeneas," "The Hard Nut," a campy version of "The Nut Cracker" set in the 1960's," The Office," "Greek to Me," ballet of "The Garden," and "Grand Duo."
Out of all the dancers I think I like him the best. His costumes aren't as bad and some of them are actually different and neat. I also like his style of dance a little bit more, it tends to be more graceful and fluent and not as prancy as the other dancers. His sets are also very dramatic and I feel they add a lot to the dance and create the mood better. Also besides that they are more ceative and fun to look at.
