Beyond her anti-establishment style, her ramshackle way of gesticulating every which way with arms and legs through classical technique corresponds to a need to attain extremes in energy and rapidity. Rendering the body electric with music turned all the way up and stressing virtuosity allows her to produce a raw élan that borders on violence. Extreme in the tension she provokes between unrestrained dance, rapidity, virtuosity, maximal energy and the physical environment of her pieces, Karole Armitage overhauls classic ballet via a process of great modernity.
