This Minnesota-based choreographer seems to be poised for a breakthrough:  his last major piece in New York left a solid impression, while hinting at better things to come.  So anticipation is high for his new piece in his elegant, geometric, very post-Cunningham style.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:   It used to be impossible to even think of getting into Mu Ramen.  Now that a few years have passed, though, maybe the Per Se-trained-chef-cooks-ramen mania has had a chance to subside.  And they just increased their seating capacity.  So maybe you can now actually go there.  Which is an especially enticing proposition since they've also increased their extra-ramen offerings.
