<First published online in the New York Times on May14, 2017>. Justin Peck — still not yet 30, yet resident choreographer at New York City Ballet since 2014 — makes ballets both with apparently complete assurance and as if conducting experiments. His latest work, “The Decalogue,” which had its world premiere with City Ballet on Friday night, is his most exploratory piece so far.

The Unstuffy Gala: City Ballet Delivers Youth and Style
<First published online in the New York Times on September 29, 2017>.

Since 2014, the formula has been four creations, made by four different choreographers, each with a design team from the fashion world.
Celebrating Old Times With New: A Premiere
<First published online in the New York Times on May 9, 2014>. New York City Ballet’s spring gala on Thursday at the David H. Koch Theater was, for many reasons, exciting. Above all, it celebrated the company’s 50 years at Lincoln Center. And the evening reached its climax with a sensational world premiere: Justin Peck’s 42-minute new ballet, “Everywhere We Go,” a work both diffuse and brilliant whose rich supply of configurations, phrases and rhythms often (if not always) suggests that young Mr. Peck can do anything he wants with choreography: a virtuoso of the form.

A World Premiere of Pure Dance to a Familiar Score
<First published online in the New York Times on February 15, 2015>. Three years ago, Justin Peck had choreographed no professional ballet. Today his works (new commissions and existing pieces) are in demand across America, and he has been resident choreographer at New York City Ballet since July. Not everything he has made, however, has succeeded. It seems fair to ask this season if he will prove one of those rare artists who, having begun with several important successes, can grow further.
