Review: Tyler, Tyler by Yasuko Yokoshi at Diverseworks

10.17.2010 Dance Reviews

I’ll give one thumb up & one thumb down to Tyler, Tyler at Diverseworks tonight. Suffice it to say that my night of interculture espionage was weighed down with heavy swishy denim and hipster karaoke on a toy piano. Don’t get me wrong. Yasuko Yokoshi meant well. She tried to take a traditional form of Japanese dance/narrative [...]

Friday night I went to the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet. A very pleasant experience considering my expectations were low and I was up in the cheapseats. They performed pieces by three different choreographers: Twyla Tharp, Jorma Elo, and Moses Pendelton. I went to the ballet specifically to see the first piece: Sweet Fields, choreographed by [...]

Dance Salad Review

Thumbnail image for Dance Salad Review

I went to Dance Salad last weekend with mom (visiting) which was a little nerve-wracking because I wasn’t sure how she’d fair for two days of three-hour dances. I’ll run down my high points: Xing Liang performed a quick solo called Existence. I wish I had the dance vocabulary to give you a proper run-down [...]

Let me not forget A Convenient Woman, a dance-theater piece by Teresa Chapman and Leslie Scates. I went last Friday and quite enjoyed it. I will not give you the play by play because Nancy Wozny has already cleared the way for me. I just want to offer some freak applause where ol’ Nanc might [...]

I mistakenly went to Andrei Codrescu‘s reading at the Menil last night. While some might call doodling during a lecture rude, I say I was keeping it real yo.

How surprised was I last Saturday when I came across this little storefront on my way to an antique/folkart store in the Houston Heights? I was on the phone with Jimmy at the time and exclaimed suddenly: “Corn!” Not a bad thing to shout on a Saturday morning. The installation was called “Angles of Repose” [...]
