COMMON GROUND SHOW IN REVIEW

March 24, 2023  |  News


Oregon Arts Watch's Amy Leona Havin joined us for our debut at the beautiful Patricia Reser Center for the Arts for our Common Ground show featuring two world premieres, noting, "three striking pieces...the dancers presented clean, strong lines...choreography of Common Ground was captivating, punchy, and rhythmic...Slipper’s choreography tangled nicely with the narrative, laying out a tale as old as time...Slipper’s sleek choreography designated the perfect base for the story at hand, complete with witty use of (Jeff) Forbes’ excellent lighting...(in) the world premiere of Caroline Finn’s The Commodities...the dancers displayed their individuality in a series of group pieces, duets, trios, and simultaneous solos; squirming, flexing, lifting, partnering, and traversing the stage...This was perhaps my favorite dance of (an) overall excellent show featuring three talented women dancemakers."
