Review for Baruch Performance

The Dance Enthusiast

Christine Jowers, Editor

Bi-Coastal

Choreography: Lane Gifford 

Music: J.S. Bach, Daniel Figgis, Phil Kline, Frédéric Chopin

Costumes: Lane Gifford

Dancers: Kevin Fay, Mistral Hay, Dave Scarantino, Joshua Tuason, Joy Voelker

Many of the pieces in the program utilized several pieces of music, but none did it as interestingly as Gifford. Instead of ending one piece before beginning another, Gifford layered one on top of the other, finding ways in which the two can co-exist and play off of one another. She made it doubly difficult by using different types of music, including Baroque, avant-garde/ambient electronica, and Romantic. The same ideas were applied to her choreography where the dancers were often split into groups that handed off phrases and refrains between them. The movement style switched from lyrical to sharp with little to no warning, and in one memorable moment, Mistral Hay completed a furious series of steps in a deep, luxurious arabesque penchée. From so many disparate parts, Gifford was able to create a coherent whole.

Pilobolus Mini Cooper World Record Cont...

Here are some pictures from the gig:

The Beginning

Well, not really the beginning, but the beginning of my descent into technology (most exciting, as I am not only technologically inept, but also hold fear and skepticism). This year I’m working on creating a website for my photography. However, since the dance world is quite needy and requires documentation of my dance ability, I am creating a blog for dance.

For my first entry of my dance adventures in New York City, I present to you a project requiring a white unitard:

On Tuesday I helped break the Guiness World Record with Pilobolus for most people packed inside an American Standard Mini Cooper. We fit 26 into the car. 

If you don’t believe me, you can see it here!

That’s all for now!
