Amy Seiwart - Im'ij-re
by Mary Ellen Hunt
July 22, 2007 -- Project Artaud Theatre, San Francisco, California
A hand-scribbled “SOLD OUT” sign and lines of disappointed dance-goers being turned away at the doors of SOMA’s Project Artaud on Sunday night were the first signs that Amy Seiwert and im’ij-re’s much-anticipated one-night-only program was not going to be your average show. Presented as part of the West Wave Dance Festival’s “4 x 4” series – four evenings showcasing a particularly promising choreographer’s body of work – im’ij-re’s program offered a tantalizing survey...

Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2007
by Stuart Sweeney, Lea Marshall and Kate Snedeker
The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is upon us, with thousands of events in 300 venues – phew!. The word “Fringe” conjures up an image of something on the periphery - marginal, second division. But I can understand the sentiments of a number of people who told me that the Fringe is now the primary festival in Edinburgh, with a breadth of high quality work that the Edinburgh Festival will find hard to rival, especially in the field of innovation.
-- Stuart Sweeney
In Woyzeck, Sadari Movement Laboratory (Korea) assembles all the elements required for a compelling, movement-based study of Georg Buchner’s play: strong and capable movers, well-constructed set pieces, atmospheric music (by Astor Piazzolla) and lighting (by Tae-Han Gu). But taken all together, this performance never generates enough electricity to prod the audience with the sharp loathing, compassion, or despair...

A Canadian At the Mariinsky: An Interview with Choreographer Peter Quanz
 by Catherine Pawlick
Most of the choreography has been done here in the grand foyer of the Theatre itself, or up on the third floor by the studios. I work in the morning before going into the studio, because there’s nothing worse than facing thirty dancers with their hands on their hips and not having an idea. So I prepare very thoroughly. Of course these dancers expect to learn the entire coordination – the arms, head and body – at the same time.

by Sigrid Payne DaVeiga -- June 7, 2007, Philadelphia
Entering the Academy of Music, one could feel lightness in the air on this lovely summer evening. This audience came to see a “Sleeping Beauty” that would match the magic found only on a crisp summer night such as this at Philadelphia’s Avenue of the Arts. The presence and excitement of the children in the lobby...

 American Ballet Theatre - 'Sleeping Beauty'
by Kathy Scott -- July 17, 2007, Orange County Center for the Performing Arts, Costa Mesa, CA
If nothing else, American Ballet Theatre's new production of "The Sleeping Beauty" is colorful. Tony Walton created a true fairy-tale environment, with arching stone sets and scenery...But it was the dancers inside the costumes that made the show. From the corps de ballet to the principals, ABT demonstrated why...
