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 [...]

Dance Review: Miguel Gutierrez and The Powerful People, “Everyone”
(Photo by Alex Escalante)

Do yourself two favors: 1. Don’t read this review. 2. Go and see Jerome Bel’s Pichet Klunchun and myself at Dance Theater Workshop, presented in partnership with Performa 07. Then read this review.
Of course, I usually try not to discourage readership [...]
Dance Review: David Neumann’s feedforward at DTW
If there is an argument in the dance world that pits those who believe dance need only to be aesthetically beautiful in a simple, if contemporary manner against those who desire a more intelligent investigation of movement as art, David Neumann’s feedward, a deeply felt meditation on athletics and [...]
