Jean Lenihan: dance and other movements

Bruno Beltrão’s Grupo de Rua

January 29, 2010 by Jean Lenihan

Bruno Beltrao | Grupo de Rua’s H3

At On the Boards, Fri – Sun Jan 28 – 31, 2010 @ 8pm.

This ghostly, washed-out photo of Grupo de Rua, the contemporary Brazilian troupe run by Bruno Beltrão that’s performing at On the Boards this weekend, is actually a good indicator of the luminous cinematic quality of H3, a 50-minute dance work for nine men. (Check Seattle Dances soon for a full review of the show.) Also, check out the link below to watch their crazy beautiful backward run formations.

It’s another sellout for On the Boards, but there may still be seats left for Sunday night (you can also put your name on waiting list for other shows). If you dance, there’s a Master Class with with Bruno Beltrão on Sat, Jan 30, 2010 at noon @ OtB ($12, or $7 with ticket stub). RSVP sean@ontheboards.org
