Outlier is a ballet made by Wayne McGregor on New York City Ballet to Thomas Adès' violin concerto Concentric Paths, Op. 24 (2005). The premiere was Saturday, May 14, 2010 at the David H. Koch Theater, Lincoln Center, New York.Concentric Paths, subtitle of the violin concerto, refers to outliers who remain peripheral to actors having a common center,.There is harmonious dance within the circle until an outlier intrudes, conflict among the men with regard to the women. Lighting is coded the mood, red for strong emotions, yellow for tranquil, grey for somber. The grouping of dancers in three movements reflects the triadic nature of the music.
