Freeform Review:
What an exhilarating evening! And right up my alley: Frida Kahlo, Hopper, Caravaggio in dance. Loved, loved, loved seeing my dear colleague Terese Capucilli dance this part. Exquisite! Everyone was brilliant! Thank you, Jacqulyn Buglisi for the incredible choreography!
I especially loved the Frida Kahlo piece, as it showed three emotional, inner stages of Frida's life. Terese Capucilli, Christine Dakin, and PeiJu Chien-Pott represented these without any Mickey-Mousing. The dancers sometimes balanced precariously on chairs, sometimes moved angularly, sometimes smoothly. These performers literally brought me to tears.
I have seen a lot of dance in my lifetime, but this was an unforgettable highpoint!
