Dance Review: American Dance Guild Squeaks By

The American Dance Guild’s performance festival is an evening of choreography with a feature by Donald McKayle.  This evening is filled with ups and downs… or shall I say downs and ups? We encounter the first “down” when the box office opens directly at show-time, causing a 20-minute-or-longer pre-show delay.  Ah well, that was forgivable, […]

Dance Review: Sad day for Downtown, Dance, and Festivals

The opening day of the 28th Annual Downtown Dance Festival was not the best representation of what is happening in downtown, or in dance or in any festival I have been to.   I found the program to be long, boring, and under rehearsed.  There are some saviors, but overall, the first day of the 28th […]

Dance Review: Da∙Da∙Dance says “Yeah right,” Da∙Da∙Dance Project at Joyce SoHo

Da∙Da∙Dance Project is a company of two; Korean born Eun Jung Choi-Gonzalez, and Guillermo Ortega Tanus of Mexico, its conception inspired by Dadaism.  The literal translation of da da into English is “yeah yeah,” as in a sarcastic “yeah right.”  With reoccurring moments of absurdity, Da∙Da∙Dance Project seems to be saying “yeah right” to conventional […]
