Arts Feature: Dance Favorites of 2020

Community is what I miss most of all the pandemic’s deprivations—doing stuff with others.

Dance Review: José Limón Company at Jacob’s Pillow — Empowering and Necessary

Theater Review: “A Tale of Two Cities” — Beware the Revolution!

Given Dickens’ penny-a-word driven verbosity and his fondness for resolving every plot point with a flurry of coincidences, adapter McEleney seems undecided: is this history play a tragedy or a farce?

Theater Review: August Wilson’s “Radio Golf” — The Culture We Build

The message of August Wilson’s final play: the future rests not on the number of Whole Foods we build but on the culture we value.

Theater Review: BalletX — Plenty of Spunk

Here was another (all-too) typical example of ballet companies reinforcing a patriarchy that hardly reflects the number of women in their ranks.

Dance Review: “Have You Seen Me” – More Dance, Less Message

An intriguing cross-disciplinary concept gave birth to a pallid, underrehearsed production.
