A Danse4Nia Correction

Dear Editor,

I would like to correct some errors stated in Kariamu Welsh’s recent review of Danse4Nia’s concert on Sunday, November 6th. Danielle Currica did not perform with us in this concert. Though she often serves as our guest artist, she was not with us on November 6th. Also, the order of the show was Caged; Better to Have Loved; Descending, Ascending; and Standing in My Skin. I sincerely appreciate that Ms. Welsh attended our performance and chose to review us, but I just wanted to address these inaccuracies.

Many thanks,
Sara Nye

The GREEF of Christina Gelsone at Baryshnikov Arts Center

Tissues are scattered all over the black box theater floor. Upstage a white wire waste paper basket sits upside down and empty. On a huge pile of tissues lies a woman in black with yellow crocs, yellow sleeves sticking out of her coat, a yellow scarf and white and yellow pompom knit hat. She stares up at the ceiling. She has a pair of red crocs on her chest.

When Tradition Takes the Stage, I Stop to Watch

Ziying Cui

Two Chinese dance dramas make me reconsider what I call “my culture.”

Five dancers in Awakening Lion hold ornate lion heads against a dark stage. White, blue, gold, and red heads form an arc above a black lion head held by one of the story’s heroes (a lion dance champion) in a deep side lunge at the front. The performers wear layered, earth-toned tunics with wrapped forearms and lower legs.
