EXPERIMENTAL DAY
Last Thursday I spent the afternoon at the Tribeca Film Festival watching a series of intriguing experimental shorts (some far better than others of course), and the evening at Brooklyn Academy of Music watching Trisha Brown Dance Company, whose program included a couple of pieces that are experimental, or at least were when…

New Cafe at Alice Tully Hall
Yesterday, Ariel invited me to a rehearsal at New York City Ballet. I love watching rehearsals! Especially with performers you really like; you kind of get to know their personalities a bit more. I don’t think we’re supposed to talk about anything in detail, but can I just say, methinks Tyler Angle must be every…

Misnomer’s BEING TOGETHER: Dance with Original Movement that Asks How Humans Connect and How Meaning is Made in Dance
I went to the opening night of Misnomer Dance Theater’s Being Together at the Joyce SoHo last night. I almost don’t want to write anything yet since they’ll be broadcasting live their December 14th performance. I know, how coolly innovative, right! So, I encourage everyone to watch that.

Monica Bill Barnes' Site-Specific "Game Face"
Yesterday I went to see Monica Bill Barnes’ site-specific dance Game Face, showing as part of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Sitelines series. I’ve seen Barnes’ work before and have liked her in the past, and I found this one very amusing — along with the rest of the audience (comprised both of people who’d…

Ms. Toad's Wild Ride
My review of the Performance Rampage event in the Judson Movement Research Festival is up on Critical Correspondence. I really had a ridiculous amount of fun. I couldn’t participate in the entire festival since I was in Blackpool for much of it but I think I’m going to check out some of the regular Judson…

Judson Movement Research Festival
So I was invited to participate in and write about some of the events in the Judson Movement Research Festival this year, including the one I had such a hard time finding on Tuesday. Here is my write-up on it. I’m sorry I missed so much of it; it seems like it was really fascinating.…
