Assitant to Miss Tharp: Henry Berg
As Time Goes By was created for The Joffrey Ballet and premiered the same year as Deuce Coupe. The work is Tharp's first based solely in the ballet vocabulary. Opening with a sharp, percussive solo in silence for a ballerina en pointe, the ballet quickly builds to a sextet then into the full company in rapidly changing formations and intricately coordinated movements. As Haydn’s “Farewell Symphony” slowly diminishes instrument by instrument, the dancers, too, drain the stage leaving a solo male dancer to close the ballet.
