I chose this show for the chance to see the work of Charles Atlas, plus I knew Rashaun Mitchell and Silas Riener would be amazing. (All of the dancers were excellent.) Part I of the evening felt like being transported into multiple video games. Part II was often a bit distracting, and seemed somewhat incongruent, but the spirit of experimentation was thrilling. My guess was that the dance moves had to be rather simple so that the video manipulation would work best? I was dismayed to find myself watching the projected images more than the real dancers. (Oh no! Am I addicted to screens rather than real life?) Sad to see the 2017 Next Wave Festival come to a close. It was awesome as always.

I entertained myself at first by trying to decide what was worse: the campy costumes, the cheesy 3D graphics, the grab bag of trite choreographic moves or the chest hair. At a point, I decided to treat it as farce — like a wry take-off of a self-indulgent college art project from the '80's — and that helped. <br /><br />I don't mean to be cruel; I expect that the intentions were sincere. But there is so much deserving talent looking for an audience. It's a terrible shame when this kind of exercise is funded. BAM members deserve much better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-14700812892330179412017-12-14T11:14:17.917-05:002017-12-14T11:14:17.917-05:00A refreshing performance.
