dirac Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 A review of Festival Ballet Providence by Erica Cataldi for Broadway World. Quote The evening begins with "Returning Points," a reprise of choreographer Annabella Lopez Ochoa's contemporary work. This was originally performed by FBP in Fall of 2021, though not in the intimate setting of the black box theatre. Created for three women and one man (on Friday evening, Anna Lisa Wilkins, Fiona Kirkland, Tara McCally, and Alex Lantz), the dancing is angular and grounded. Link to comment
dirac Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 A review of Kansas City Ballet by Hilary Stroh for Bachtrack. Quote Liang Fu was an outstanding Dracula: his stage presence was spine-tingling – regal and macabre, majestic and creepy at once – the merest hint of his pure evil enough to transform the whole atmosphere on stage. Notable were the stupendous lighting effects throughout, thanks to David Grill. What I found striking from the start was Fu’s extraordinary stillness – each move intentional and other-worldly, with the slowness of absolute power. His exaggeratedly opening reverence conjured up the V-shaped death-mime was vicious and disturbing, mocking victims and audience (if the two were indeed different). Link to comment
