Degrees of suckiness
I’ve been wanting to write something about this. Well, I’ve been wanting to write tons of things about it. But I haven’t and I don’t think I will. There’s just no “inspiration” at the moment.
When I think about it, there are really only two things I want to say. One, and that’s about my piece; she’s right. And this fact raises the question, what sucks more? To get a shitty review or to know in your heart that the shitty review is quite right on? Umm…the latter!
Two, she is wrong about some of the other pieces (ok, in my opinion, I should say, she’s wrong). This is especially true for the last piece of the showcase, by Noopur Singa titled “Kids & Science”. This piece challenged a lot of conventions and for that alone I think she deserved some credit.
So what am I talking about? I’m talking about the review of the Choreographer’s Showcase 2007 in DanceViewTimes that Lisa Traiger wrote. Click here to read it. It’s brutal.
