Old Fashioned Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 The Trocks were in Houston this past weekend...I've been dying to see them forever but didn't go. I'll have plenty of chances next year, though. I wonder why they haven't been reviewed in the Chronicle yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Parish Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Dunno, Old-Fashioned, but my hunch is that criticss here are waiting out of courtesy to Cal Performances, who're presenting them AGAIN in the Bay Area later this season. the Trocks did have a one-off in San Rafael a week or 2 ago. Don't miss them. there are certain values in their dancing that are REAL ballet values but you don't see them anywhere else, they're so old-fashioned. And besides, the more you love ballet, and the more you know about it, the funnier they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Fashioned Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 They perform frequently in NYC, though, don't they? I'm moving next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to watch them someday (I love comedy of all sorts) but now I'm very interested. And what are the real ballet values you are talking about?

Estelle Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 May I recommend two recent articles by Mary Cargill and Leigh Witchel in the Dance View Times about some performances by the Trocks ? http://www.danceviewtimes.com/2005/Winter/01/Trocks1.htm http://www.danceviewtimes.com/2005/Winter/01/Trocks2.htm and also an older article by Leigh on his web site: http://members.aol.com/lwitchel/990424.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
