The Hook

In my post-bike-accident stupor, and the subsequent belatedness of everything - and I mean everything - on my to-do list, I somehow managed to miss opening night of the new dance event at REDCAT. Tonight, then! From the event site:

"Maqoma invited three of the world’s most refreshing and articulate choreographers to contribute their unique artistic voices to Beautiful Me—Akram Khan (U.K.), Faustin Linyekula (D.R. of the Congo) and Vincent Mantsoe (South Africa)—forging an expansive movement vocabulary that layers the influences of contemporary Kathak, Afro-fusion, and visual dance theater with breathtaking precision and lyrical warmth"

This raises a few questions, such as: Who wrote such a perfect preview? Do they want to go out for coffee soon? And oh WHY did I leave all my notebooks and textbooks back east?

I'm sure I've seen Akram Khan back in Ohio. I'll brush up on my history and try a few Kathak moves (be still, my quivering ankles!) before heading to REDCAT tonight. See you there?
