As usual, the best advice for looking at Mr. Never mind that his springboard for the table piece ''One Flat Thing, reproduced'' had something to do with Robert Scott's failed expedition to the South Pole.

His work is acknowledged for reorienting the practice of ballet from its identification with classical repertoire to a dynamic 21st century art form.

After the closure of the Ballet Frankfurt in 2004, Forsythe established a new ensemble, The Forsythe Company, which he directed from 2005 to 2015.
