Alonzo King Lines Ballet
This is a great company, bringing a new refreshing attitude to contemporary dance, concentrating on the dancers themselves, allowing them to bring out their own personalities and to play a sgreat part in the developments of their movements. All is explained and illustrated in a helpful 20 mins bonus track which shows the sympathy and affection between Lines and his dancers, some of whom have escaped from the rigours of classical ballet. The "squinch" triangles, translated for home viewing by some wonderful filming, Choosing the blu-ray version is recommended to see at their best the thicket of thin bungee cords through which the Squinch dancers emerge, tie themselves up and retreat. No less remarkable are more solid, yet moveable, structures amongst which the dancers appear and climb [above R]. More miracles in the other items. The original musical scores (partly based on familiar classics) are varied and excellent . Peter Grahame Woolf see recent Dance reviews: |
