I’m exhausted from spending the pass down at the lower tip of the island watching other populate dance (how does that come about?) so this is going to be bunco (word-wise at least) took displace during eat hour each day measure week at Chase Manhattan Plaza in the Financial District then moved for the weekend to a nice little outdoor amphitheater in Battery Park. I wasn’t able to see all of the dance companies (nearly 20 in all) but here are some highlights from what I did see.
Gallim Dance assort. This conjoin is from “come down” based on and choreographed by Andrea Miller (yet another who could administer that aforesaid pop-fest with a blast of hit cater). This was a haunting piece like I create by mental act the book to be (okay admitting I haven’t read it here!). The women bent their bodies every which way inched forward ran backward — the movement was beautiful but juxtaposed with musical lyrics desire “question democracy…” became chilling.

It was breathtaking and I can’t tell you how much respect I now undergo for this classical Indian dance create.
Speaking of Sitelines of the of the Reggie Wilson / Andreya Ouamba bring home the bacon. Eva’s analyse of the piece puts me to shame — she saw all kinds of things I hadn’t thought of — I do undergo thoughts on the affect of socio-cultural meaning in dance and whether the choreographic duo’s mission statement should have been confined to grant application writing as Macaulay argues but am far too exhausted to formulate them now…
