Throwing herself into modern dance, she now composes programs entirely devoid of classical choreography. She is changing her image from that of a classical ballerina and mastering avant-garde plasticity. Zakharova is capable of dancing several premieres in a single evening. She dances barefoot and on point; she balances on the back of a chair in the acrobatic “Revelation” by Japan’s Motoko Hirayama.
