it made me cry. i don’t know why.
this review in the new york times made me cry. honestly. it was this passage in particular:
In what must be one of the saddest romantic duets ever choreographed, two exhausted people who once loved each other remember how it felt and why, with fleeting, yielding tenderness. Finally Stefano murmurs a closing litany of homages to remembered sex, to trust and to voids, and to “loss, loneliness, absence and longing, and no longing at all.”
i’m not sure what it was, but i do know that i’d be pretty happy to have created a phrase that reads like that.

Yes, lovely words from Jennifer Dunning. But funny how you don’t collect or comment on what the local papers say about dance.

We do comment on local dance reviews and shows–it just depends on what interests us. Tends to vary. But if you look through the postings you’ll see a comments on the WP’s reviews or our own reviews of shows.
