THE POPULARITY OF KEIGWIN + COMPANY

 

 

 

 

During ballet season my time is so limited and I just can’t attend everything I want to. And so, regrettably, I had to miss Keigwin + Company at the Joyce last week. But my friend, writer Christopher Atamian, agreed to attend for me and write a review here. I’m a big fan of Larry Keigwin, but unfortunately my friend didn’t like the performance very much! Oh well, such is life… Anyway, I’m very thankful and flattered that professional writers want to write for my blog. I do want to make clear, though, the views expressed herein are Mr. Atamian’s and not my own.

KEIGWIN + COMPANY UPCOMING AT THE JOYCE

 

If you’re in New York, Keigwin + Company will be performing at the Joyce June 23-27 . I’ve always really enjoyed this small modern company and I highly recommend them. Larry Keigwin’s choreography is witty, funny, accessible, athletic, occasionally disturbing, and always engaging. They’re performing a combination of new works and company classics, including the fabulous Bolero/NYC. Here’s a preview.

They’re alternating dates that week (it’s not this upcoming week, but the next) with Nicholas Leichter Dance. I’ve seen that company once and found Mr. Leichter’s work thought-provoking. I hope to make it to both, and, since one of the two main ballet companies here will have ended its season, I might actually be able to. Go here for tix and more info.
