Really great choices to showcase the company and very impressed that the company are able to attract such high calibre choreographers. BAM consistently program exciting, high quality and innvovative dance the likes of which I have only seen on the festival circuit or at Sadlers Wells in London.

I was not crazy about how the cage panels were built because they seemed wobbly sometimes — however I like how they were used. Overall I was delighted with the evening and I liked the various dance movements, gestures and vocal aspects that were used in the piece. I also enjoyed the string quartet. I was blown away by how those dancers could move their bodies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-25567323357617277422014-06-14T14:41:45.432-04:002014-06-14T14:41:45.432-04:00It was long, without dynamic shifts, using a lot o...It was long, without dynamic shifts, using a lot of material that has been used before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-4315595870917275032014-06-14T11:19:11.200-04:002014-06-14T11:19:11.200-04:00You're tedious and boring.You're tedious and boring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-60744001661030721472014-06-14T11:17:55.309-04:002014-06-14T11:17:55.309-04:00I agree.
