Find out how to actually make money off dance in Gia Kourlas’ review of Esse Aficionado at The Joyce Soho. (And it’s just as whorish as you think)
Roslyn Sulcas totally feels us, and therefore encourages The Kitchen to GET OVER THE 60’s (or 60s) after seeing Dance and Process. (But for realz, Roz is right [...]
Time(s) To Dance: Definitely Not Rated-R Edition
RoS Remainders
So, just to tighten up some loose ends…
Here’s Deborah Jowitt’s review of the Rainer drainer. She obviously has some pretty strong loyalties to the era (and I’m sure, to some of the artists). There’s only one real criticism, but in the same breath, it sounds like she tries to take a stab at…our protest to [...]
Watch out, 60s: Here come the 70s
In a blazingly sycophantic review/profile/editorial, Deborah Jowitt, celebrating five decades of writing for The Village Voice, lionizes Douglas Dunn and the 70s in much the same way that has befallen the 1960s in recent dance/performance art discussions.
I feel less of a need to harsh on the 70s, since that decade has never had much of [...]
Critics Award of the Day: L. Ro. on Goldberg
Choreographers: Claudia La Rocco got your back.
The 60’s nostalgia that folks have been mainlining during this year’s Performa extravaganza, has been irking me to no small degree. You all know how we feel about this. While I’m down with taking the best things we learned from that era, and moving forward with it–recognizing the present [...]
Vintage New York from New York
Here are the Classical & Dance videos from New York Magazine’s 100 best vintage New York Videos. They’re mostly from the 50’s and 60’s. Though brilliant, kind of makes me wanna bust out my good old mantra: Get over the sixties.
The hottest vid is clearly Callas performing on The Ed Sullivan Show. Not only [...]
Get Over The 60s: Part Two
Review in Brief: Julie Taymor’s Across the Universe
First of all, this should have been called Across New York City In The 60’s, which although a marvelous cosmopolitan center, does not constitute the entire universe. [I know the title comes from the song.] But judging by it, Julie Taymor thinks it does, or did, at least [...]
The Graphic Details
Kate Taylor reports for The Sun on a new exhibition of graphic music scores at The Kitchen.
It’s kind of hilarious that the beginning of the article is basically like, the creators of the exhibition decided not to include John Cage. Then she goes on for two pages about John Cage. And rightly so. He is [...]
Nostalgia Redux
If it ain’t the 60’s, it’s the 80’s.
Here’s Greg Sandow’s (of Arts Journal blogging micro-fame) Wall Street Journal piece on Pauline Oliveros’ gig at the Lincoln Center Out of Doors nostalgia fuck fest to the 1960s.
I guess nobody’s jonesin to get back to the 70’s or 90’s.
I prefer to look at all this scrap-book nostalgia [...]
Get Over the 60’s
So, Monday morning caught C.C. a little off guard. We’re a bit bitey.
That being said, will the Baby Boomers please get over the 60’s and stop shoveling this retrogressive nostalgia coma down our throats? Seriously. It’s so passive and stale, I don’t know whether to get up and pee on someone or simply succumb to [...]
Trisha Brown: Somewhere in between Merce and Morris
Piggy-back Review: Trisha Brown Dance Company
Claudia La Rocco has done half the work for us! Read her Times review of Trisha Brown Dance Company’s performance at Lincoln Center Out of Doors. C.C. also attended the event, held at the decrepit relic of 60’s utopian optimism, the Damrosch Park Bandshell.
Incidentally, a friend of mine [...]
