You have to be either a student of dance or a long time aficionado of her choreography to enjoy this program. As a couple who have loved many dance performances over decades, we found this program very repetitive and uninteresting. The dancers are very good, the movements individually elegant but did not wear well throughout a full evening of sameness. LIke many other audience members, we left before it ended.
The first piece started with promise but quickly devolved into a jarring discordent flitting of bodies across the stage. What were we supposed to get from this? We had to re-read the write up and still came away with a shrug. The dancer who came with us could not understand it either. The solo piece was even more confusing. But the third piece was the real zinger! What? Huh? This is the most requested work? A high school marching band that sounded like a grade school band playing songs that had absolutely nothing to do with the snail paced movements of the dancers. Although each piece received lots of applause we were joined by, at the very least, half of the patrons as we left at intermission!
