Mark Morris has consistently created sophisticated ballets full of nuance, restraint, and musicality. Though he is known best as a modern dance choreographer, his ballets constitute an important part of his creative power. This chapter examines his works created for companies including American Ballet Theatre (ABT) and San Francisco Ballet; pays homage to his collaborative relationship with the designer Isaac Mizrahi; and includes the insight of several of the dancers who graced his ballets, including Mikhail Baryshnikov, who commissioned Morris’s first work for ABT: Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes. Such interviews reveal Morris’s influence beyond the stage. When considered as a whole, the ballets, exceptional for their individual look and temperament, remain timeless: they celebrate the beauty of unaffected dancing.
