World Dance Alliance Concert Review
Drifting through the world salad
By Elizabeth Zimmer
Friday night’s WDA concert, which sticks in my mind as being a study in floaty white things, opened with a dramatic production out of Taiwan, strongest as a piece of visual art with understated movement motifs. Wen-jinn Luo’s 2009 work, An Independent Sleep, performed by the Scarecrow Contemporary [...]
World Dance Alliance Concert
World Salad
By Elizabeth Zimmer

Jeanine Potter and André Santiago mimed and bashed [...]

World Dance Alliance Concert 2
The second of the WDA Global Dance Event concerts was more varied in style and a little less culturally neutral than the first. Still, much of the six-part evening exhibited the eclectic formalism and/or titillating populism of Euro-American contemporary dance. Yoke, Kate Corby’s brief opening solo was a study in agitation. Planted in one spot, [...]
World Dance Alliance Concert 1
One World is an old idea, going back to the days of world wars and recoveries—the League of Nations, the UN, Ban the Bomb. Those schemes may sound quaint now, but they’ve worked. The world hasn’t self-destructed in the last hundred years, and we citizens seem to have arrived at a common culture, with the [...]
