Ragtime is a whimsical duet choreographed by Lin for KYL/D's Olive Prince and Scott McPheeters. Lin also brings his singular artistry to the new, group piece, Renard, with original choreography that re-imagines Stravinsky's burlesque fable about power and corruption through the eyes of a contemporary artist.
Danse Russe is a one-act, vaudeville-style opera, with music by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Paul Moravec and an original libretto by Wall Street Journal drama critic & biographer Terry Teachout. An eclectic masterpiece, Danse Russe imagines the creation of The Rite of Spring through the eyes of its artistic team: Diaghilev, Nijinsky, Monteux, and Stravinsky
