Endings matter
by C. N. on 5/2/23National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaOverall the performance was wonderful. The national Arts Center orchestra was great, The two Hosts were engaging, and the dancers were mostly well prepared and exciting. What did become uncomfortable was the ending. It was very clear choreographically, that there had not been a finale prepared. For a sold out show at the national Arts Center, that was very surprising and disappointing. There were many people in the audience that had never seen dance, and for that being their first experience, it really fell flat. We witnessed dancers sheepishly entering and exiting the stage and confusion. That's not a very nice introduction to dance. Perhaps next time people could be invited up to the stage at the end to do some interactive dancing with the performers. Not having choreographed a proper ending, was really a missed opportunity for it to have been an excellent show rather than just a show. Thank you.
