One more note — I can’t call the jive by Riker Lynch and Allison Holker either a highlight or a lowlight because I really couldn’t see much of the footwork, They danced on an elevated stage with a mob of fans around them, and it was difficult to see anything below their knees, And I was stunned to see the judges award them 7’s and 8’s instead of lower scores, It was an interesting, not necessarily exciting, start to pink and cream ballet shoes ribbons - cotton quilting fabric - dance [[by the half yard]] Season 20, Next week is “My Jam Week,” featuring music that makes us want to jump up and dance, See you next week — keep dancing..
Throughout the evening, Elizalde’s mechanics were consistent and dependable. In moments of high drama, the pianist never overwhelmed and generally exuded confidence from the stage. In the Franck, however, I found his palette to be lacking in color and conviction. Pillars of structure were erected, notes played in time, but subtlety and profundity were found slender next to Chang. But Ravel’s “Tzigane” quickly found both musicians masters of their instruments, and Chang brought the house down with an array of double-stops, harmonics, trills and the kitchen sink — all delivered cleanly, with zest and panache.
Nonsense, That’s the defining principle behind Robert Wilson’s latest theatrical experiment “The Old Woman.” In this bizarre 100-minute romp, the theater of the absurd goes on a wild ride through the void, and Willem Dafoe and Mikhail Baryshnikov are the satanic tour guides — smeared in makeup that could be described as Kabuki meets the Joker and grinning like madmen at the chaos, Based on a 1939 political novella by the Russian absurdist writer Daniil Kharms and adapted for the stage by Darryl Pinckney, this deliciously macabre avant-garde piece runs pink and cream ballet shoes ribbons - cotton quilting fabric - dance [[by the half yard]] Nov, 21-23 at Berkeley’s Cal Performances..
