Did anyone see Netherlands Dance Theatre in Chicago last week?

It was the first time they had been back to Chicago in about 35 years. It was a fabulous performance. Great rep from a variety of choreographers. Interesting lighting and set design as well. And if you made it to the Wednesday evening performance and you stayed there was a question & answer that followed involving two of the choreographers and the artistic director (who's last performance with the company was that very evening).

Let me know any of your thoughts on the performance. I would be interested to get others input.

I also called about 2 hours after the box office opened & tickets were sold out. Which is a great thing in the indoor venues, but everyone still needs to remember that there is an outdoor performance FREE & completely open to the public at Millenium Park on Sat. August 22, 2009.

If anyone is interested in discussing any of the groups that are going to be performing that night please let me know.
