I'm going to Glassy Essence, Cedar Lake Dance Company's new show & I'm sure its gona be really awesome.
A synopsis:I went to Decadance there last summer, which was directed by guest choreographer Ohad Naharin. The show was one of the best I've ever seen. The space was fabulous. Its a small theater, and very intimate. Giant stage, great lighting and set design. The dancers were top-notch: highly dramatic, graceful, technically superior. Naharin's company, Batsheva Dance Company, from Israel, was founded originally by Martha Graham, one of the best modern dance choreographers. So the show was phenomenal. There was only 1 or 2 dancers there from Batsheva, and it was pretty seamless, so I'd say Cedar Lake's dancers are on the same level.
Part choreographed dance performance and part interactive installation, Glassy Essence, bridges the gap between dancer and audience by merging the two in the most literal sense.
Can't wait for their new show.
