We liked the staging and we dug some of the music and we got into the dancing and we thought some of the staged sets were pretty innovative and extremely well-done. Yes, it had it’s pretensions, but what would interpretive dance be without pretension?

At first, we were a little scared when the thing started and some guy in white face slithered around all snake-like and played shaman. But then the next set, which featured dancers rhythmically crawling around underneath long pieces of white cloth, was kind of interesting in it's use of light, music, and color. Somewhere along the line (we forgot when) a bunch of dancers in faux-corporate garb came out, all grim and mechanized. Some other dancers, looking straight out of those Gap commercials where all the Gap kids danced, also appeared on the stage along with the corporate dancers and, yes, there was a dance off. Then the corporate dancers slowly went off the stage, leaving the Gap kids to do their thing. According to the notes, this was supposed to symbolize childhood, but we thought it represented more the artistic spirit vs. corporate culture. But, whatever, we'll go with it.
