LOVER.MUSE.MOCKINGBIRD.WHORE -A Dance Theatre Meditation on Bukowski's Women

Another amazing performance by Laura Careless. Lover.Muse. Mockingbird. Whore. was a daring and provocative. As usual Company XIV amazed me with its clever use of the relatively small space at the Bond Street Theatre. Laura Careless and Jeff Takacs delivered stunning performances. The athleticism of Carless is simply amazing. She effortlessly morphed into one woman after another. Jeff Takacs is a solid actor with a great big booming voice and the panache to pull it all off. Together, Carless and Takacs have great chemistry. One of my favorite aspects of the piece was how they it used projectors mixed with live and prerecorded video. All in all, a great show.

Love, Loss, and What I Wore

Love, loss, and what I wore was billed to me as a "chick flick," and while it certainly fits that criteria it's really so much more. It was funny, poignant, and moving. The actors were great. One of my favorite parts was performed by Fredi Walker Brown dealing with purses. And while it may seem a female-centric topic, anybody who carries a bag will laugh out loud at the problems we face to keep our bags organized. Fredi Walker Brown really stands out amongst this group of talented actors.

As enjoyable as it was, Love, Loss, and What I wore, was somewhat annoying in the repeated refrain that a woman's well-being is somehow linked to her choice of clothing and or weight. No doubt these are real issues that women face in our society but I would have hoped that in 2011 we might move beyond such superficial nonsense.

All in all, great acting and terrific material that made for a very enjoyable night.

Taiko & Dance 2011

Wow! What an amazing, high energy performance. I was blown away by how amazing this was. The drummers were out of this world. They started out with Tamagawa Taiko for world peace, and that positive vibe just shot through the whole performance. Jongara was the ninth, and perhaps most appropriate, performance. It's a traditional dance performed by young girls to lift the villagers spirits during long hard winters. We've certainly had (having) a long hard winter here. Aside from their performances being superb in every way, I think what was the most fun about it was seeing just how much fun the performers were having. You couldn't hep but smile watching this amazing performance.
