For those of you who haven't been able to divine my metro-sexual tendencies by my fashion selections, it may surprise you to know that I enjoy modern dance now and then. I wasn't too keen on the program Murray and I saw last night. It wasn't just because I didn't recognize any of the moves from my ballet 1 class.
Stockholm's presentation of Doubletake was more like a cool lute performance with some irrelevant dancers that occasionally did something cool. Mainly I liked the solo dancer in the middle of the performance who looked like a break-dancer gone upmarket. They did some humorous and whimsical stuff which, in addition to the physically challenging, is what I tend to like. However, much of the humor was in Swedish and French. The use of #hashtags in the program was quirky too. While I like improvisation in music, I can't say it worked very well for me in dance. It seemed to devolve into something between a rugby scrum and Michelangelo's Battaglia dei Centauri.
