The Radio Show hits NYC

We had a great run at Danspace at St. Marks, and the crowds and press loved it.  We were literally packed on closing night, with audience sitting upstage of the dancers in the wings.  Here is some of the press we got.

Sarah Cubbage’s handsome, sexy costumes, featuring high-waisted, wide-legged trousers and shirts with cutaway backs, captured Mr. Abraham’s mix of austerity and sensuality. So did Dan Scully’s lighting, which employed a back row of lights close to the floor to spike the quieter overall design with a showbiz atmosphere.

As his dancers joined in, often for solos or (sometimes overlapping) duets, there were introspective and disturbing moments—the discomfiture of a body once so in control, losing some of that and finding itself at the mercy of what Abraham called “disconnected synapses” Abraham mentioned when talking about his father.

Dan Scully’s lighting design makes everything look good and, while his row of bright stage lights aligned at the rear of the space is a grand, theatrical touch, I most enjoyed his more subtle delineation of areas for dancing, his play of soft light and available shadow (cast by the church’s columns).
