Hey, y’all! (a la Brit)
So, I know some of you think I ain’t been writin’ recently. But t’aint true! I just been writin’ somewheres else.
Check these dance reviews over at The Brooklyn Rail:
First, Neal Medlyn and Jack Ferver queer it up at The New Museum…
Whether we’re post-gay, post-AIDS, post-Will & Grace, or blindly drifting in [...]
Well, well, well. We’re back and we’re bad, and we’ve resuscitated the DUCHIES (pronounced, DOUCHE-ees) because Jenny D.’s recent review of a mixed bill at BRIC Studios in Brooklyn has us fired up. The interesting thing is that C.C. was personally involved and invested in one of the pieces she took down.
Now, before we all [...]
A C.C. tipster sent us this link to a conversation that’s happening over at the Brooklyn Philharmonic’s YouTube group between potential applicants for the orchestra’s “Believe You Can Win” contest and the Philharmonic.
It turns out the initial legal language of the contest rules had implied that simply by entering the competition–which asks video makers to [...]

Dance Review:
Dance States of a Theatrical Mind: Diana Szeinblum’s “Alaska”
A loyal reader sent in this email about an event that took place at the opening of the Center for Performance Research…
OMG, C.C.!
Do you believe what happened Saturday night? I’m still recovering.
I’m hoping you’ll post my account of events, even though I‘m sure you’ll do your own.
Anyway…
So WTF did you think of Ann Liv Young’s [...]
Here is a link the most recent essay I have published on Chez Bushwick’s blog, Notes On A Vanguard, hosted on Doug Fox’s Great Dance.
Music Review: Joanna Newsom @ BAM
For Michael
For one night at least, the cool kids took over BAM. I am, of course, using the phrase as I once believed Claudia La Rocco had used it (reviewing Jeremy Wade’s “…and pulled out their hair” at The Joyce Soho), that is, with an edge of condescencion. Well, with [...]
Here is a link to the first essay I contributed for Chez Bushwick’s “Force Majeure” series, as posted on Chez Bushwick’s new blog, Notes On A Vanguard, hosted on Doug Fox’s Great Dance.
It should be pointed out that, while I did not review this performance on Counter Critic, I did jump to its defense when [...]
Theater Review: Samuel Beckett’s “Happy Days” @ BAM
To use the skippy theme song from the 50’s-era television hit “Happy Days” as intermission music was a cute a touch. Unfortunately, director Deborah Warner and lead actress, Fiona Shaw, eroded Beckett’s dire existential portrait that explores human isolation, our resistance to aging, and the need ultimately, [...]
