Ballet technique and choreography have remained more formal than those of modern dance, but their themes and stage effects are often similar. Important modern dancers have been invited to perform with and create dances for ballet companies, and in 1990, Mikhail Baryshnikov joined with dancer-choreographer Mark Morris to form a new eclectic dance company. In addition, Paul Taylor performed with the New York City Ballet in a work created for him by George Balanchine , Taylor himself created dances for Rudolf Nureyev , and Tharp's dancers joined the Joffrey Ballet to perform her Deuce Coupe and As Time Goes By.
