Sirkis, ever the dominating seductress, began to shed the layers of her outfit, remaining exposed in her undergarments. This wasnโt the titillating part. What was so thrilling was the fact that here she truly began to physically express herself as the skilled contemporary dancer that she is, bringing to life on stage her own signature and unparalleled mix of drag performance and dance.Read more
The performance presents the desire to be the chosen one of the public. Each and every one has a set time on stage during which they must convince us to choose them. They use every means at their disposal: virtuoso technique, unique movement, an individual personal story meant to stir our compassion and empathy. When necessary, they stand on a tall pedestal so that we can see and hear them better.
They want us to follow them. Their movement hypnotizes us into becoming captivated by them.Read more
The worlds oscillate between the tangible and the abstract, as Ayala employs a variety of materials and textures. Nayaโs persona shifts as well, both through the costumes and accessories she adopts in each world, and through her movement choices, which range from the one end of classical flamenco to the other end of contemporary dance.Read more
For a self proclaimed selfish bastard, Hamilton is one of the most gracious and generous people I have ever seen on stage.Read more
I think of Boutrousโs wheat field as a particular site of memory, an object that is like the gun that appears in the first act to remind both the performer and ourselves of the place we come from.Read more

We wonโt ever know the real effect of walking in and out of this war but in the film Puppet Party, Galina uses his many talents to convey the fractured pieces of himself unraveling and being unraveled.ย Read more
Maybe the real question the piece is asking isnโt โIf there were no war, what kind of dance would happen?โ (as the program states), but rather: How can one keep dancing in the middle of a war? How can we dance not about the war, not for it, not in service of it, not in protest of it, but also not with our eyes closed to it? Is it possible to continue making good dance theater, while still being self aware of whatโs happening around us? Should we? And what about creators who donโt want to engage directly with the war, what is their place right now, in this heartbroken moment of sand and stone?Read more
