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 [...]
So, Alastair Macaulay makes the case for adding James Kudelka’s “The Ruins Proclaim the Building Was Beautiful” to C.C.’s Know When To Say When list; and then some. He writes:
“The Ruins Proclaim the Building Was Beautiful” (to music by César Franck soupily arranged for orchestra by Rodney Sharman) lasts no more than 30 minutes, but [...]
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 [...]
It’s going to be a dance day.

I thought it would be fun to show these images side by side. On the left is Ekaterina Kondaurova performing “Rubies” from Balanchine’s “Jewels” with the Kirov Ballet, that has [...]
Yo yo. So, it’s not usually my style to single out dances for being, well, bad. I usually amp up the bitchiness when something thinks it’s way better than it is. I try not to kick something when it’s down. But after Tuesday night…at The Kirov, it finally occurred to me that there is this [...]
Friday night we stopped by DNA for Laura Peterson’s “Electrolux,” reviewed in The Times by Gia Kourlas. Our very own RT will actually be reviewing this for The Brooklyn Rail, so all we can say now is, it was def worth checking out.
Saturday afternoon we hit the replay of the Met’s simulcast of Peter Grimes [...]
W…T…F…
News came out like, Wednesday? Was anybody going to tell me?!!!!?!?!?
(Danciti is also posting about it)
UPDATE:
Gawker’s Nick Denton was on this shit even before Zimmer. Although, it might intrigue us all to know that he thinks “dance is increasingly irrelevant, culturally.” Anyone car to comment? Incidentally, if you click the “Deborah Jowitt” tag that searches [...]
Dance Review: Adrienne Truscott’s “genesis, no!” @ DTW
There are gaps in Adrienne Truscott’s “genesis, no!,” which had a reprise mounting last week at Dance Theater Workshop, having first run at P.S. 122 last spring. The work, a kind of anthropological rumination on human culture, uses theatricality to isolate activities from their real-world, analogous contexts, and [...]
