Malashock and his dance company has been here for many years in San Diego. Was this article in the San Diego Union and I missed it? <P>I must have been watching too much election news lately......my reading is suffering....

No, Basheva, I got it from a different source...

Wasn't Malashock a dancer in Twyla Tharp's company for many years? When she was still doing "modern" dance (now I think her work is more balletic?). I think he has been based in San Diego for a while...Basheva might know?

Yes, Trina, you have a good memory. From the <A HREF="http://www.malashockdance.org/" TARGET=_blank>Malashock web site</A>:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>John Malashock brings over twenty years of experience in the dance and theatre field to his current endeavors as Artistic Director of Malashock Dance & Company, where he has created nearly 30 original choreographic works.

Yes, Malaschock has been here in San Diego for many years. I have to admit I have never gone to see the company though modern dancers have told me he is very good. <P>Since modern dance is not something I have any knowledge of - I haven't gone. (Ducking as the bricks coming flying in!!)<P>If this board wants me to go - and gets me tickets - I will go and tell you what I see.
