Joe Goode: walking the line

April 28, 2009 by Apollinaire Scherr Leave a Comment

God, did I love the Joe Goode Performance Group's show last week at the Joyce--and I sure didn't expect to from the reviews. So I was trying to figure out how to talk about him in a way that caught his balancing act, how he manages to vault over cornball sentiment while honoring it. A tricky accomplishment--and I don't know whether I did it justice in this review for the Financial Times (I never … [Read more...]

University of California budget cuts threaten to wipe out dance classes (UPDATED M, 4/27)

April 19, 2009 by Apollinaire Scherr 1 Comment

But the phys ed program has been there for a hundred years -- Cal was the first state university … [Read more...]

Go: Final exits at “Nearly Ninety”

April 18, 2009 by Apollinaire Scherr Leave a Comment

I have a review coming out--Monday, I think it is; I will link to it here--on the BAM Cunningham show that runs through Sunday, so I will keep mum on the subject except to say: It's worth going (of course--this is Cunningham) and it's your last chance to see the the serenely regal and eloquent Holley Farmer and the heartbreakingly immediate Daniel Squire do Cunningham. It's also the last … [Read more...]

Vicky Shick’s ripe “Glimpse”

April 13, 2009 by Apollinaire Scherr Leave a Comment

The postcard for Vicky Shick's Glimpse--commissioned by the Extremely Hungary Festival and Danspace Project at St. Mark's Church, which presented the dance last weekend--is a photo of a worn Hungarian-English dictionary opened to a page of ps: pelda to pince. Penz follows pentek as money does Friday only to take off on a byway: pep (pulp; the flesh pitted of structure). That's how the soft, … [Read more...]
