En Avant, Marche! had me at ‘Hello’. A portly, grey haired man shuffles onstage holding a portable CD player. He wanders offstage and pulls in an extension cable, plugs in his CD player, skips to the right track, takes a pair of cymbals, and prepares to join in at the right moment. The anticipation is […]

What follows could be called contemporary dance, performance art, experimental theatre, investigations on endurance, a lot of jumping, or who knows what else, but whatever you call it, it’s lovely.

Company Chameleon: Beauty of the Beast
August 24th, 2015 by Ezra LeBankBeauty of the Beast presents an engaging, sometimes humorous, examination of male dynamics across a range of personal and social situations. Presented by Company Chameleon, and choreographed by Anthony Missen, Beauty plays with and against a vast range of male stereotypes. The company moves sporadically through a variety of forms, from classical dance to theatrical […]
