Dance digression
Posted by libby
I finally made it to a Dance Boom! event this year, thanks to the good graces of my neighbor Andrew Simonet of Headlong Dance Theater. Don't miss a chance to see something good and go to tonight's performance, the last one so far as I can tell.
Headlong's Shosha, based on an Isaac Basheves Singer story, was quirky for its structure--half performance and theater, half dance, and totally original. It was also totally moving.
Choreographer Keely Garfield's Scent of Mental Love was a series of stylish parodies of the traditional pas de deux in dance and in love songs--also quite original and entertaining and funny.
As I bore up through the first piece, Subcircle, a collaboration between choreographer Niki Cousineau and composer/designer Jorge Cousineau, I mused about how dancers can fall into the same traps as artists, having big thoughts but losing perspective on how to communicate those ideas in a way that would make someone pay attention. permanent link
