There are certainly many composers and choreographers, young and established, who are doing exciting work, and looking for work. Why not give them, and the audience, a chance?]]> http://calitreview.com/20479/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/20354 http://calitreview.com/20354#comments Thu, 29 Sep 2011 07:07:39 +0000 Geri Jeter http://calitreview.com/?p=20354 Dear Miss Cline by Choreographer-in-Residence Amy Seiwert, which she has described as her most "Smuin-esque" piece to date. Set to ten classic Patsy Cline recordings, it is a sometimes comic, often touching, exploration of interpersonal relationships. The company has a real winner with this ballet. A big plus were the cheerful costumes by Jo Ellen Arntz (with Amy Seiwert). They captured the period of the late 1950s/early 1960s without descending into cliché-ridden “Hee Haw” country kitsch. ]]> http://calitreview.com/20354/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/20242 http://calitreview.com/20242#comments Tue, 27 Sep 2011 17:21:52 +0000 Hanna Oldsman http://calitreview.com/?p=20242 http://calitreview.com/20242/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/20108 http://calitreview.com/20108#comments Wed, 21 Sep 2011 14:30:05 +0000 Geri Jeter http://calitreview.com/?p=20108 It is wonderful to be dancing in an ensemble again. The company is tremendously talented, and we all feed off each other's energy and abilities. The familial atmosphere works. All the dancers seek to make their fellow company members look their best. There is a sense of common good — a sense of community.]]> http://calitreview.com/20108/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/19767 http://calitreview.com/19767#comments Mon, 05 Sep 2011 13:37:43 +0000 Ethan Kanfer http://calitreview.com/?p=19767 http://calitreview.com/19767/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/18878 http://calitreview.com/18878#comments Fri, 29 Jul 2011 04:08:03 +0000 Geri Jeter http://calitreview.com/?p=18878 Dance in the Desert showcases companies from around the world, across the United States, and from the neighboring states of California, Utah, and Arizona, as well as highlighting Nevada's own talent.]]> http://calitreview.com/18878/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/18784 http://calitreview.com/18784#comments Mon, 25 Jul 2011 14:30:30 +0000 Geri Jeter http://calitreview.com/?p=18784 http://calitreview.com/18784/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/18621 http://calitreview.com/18621#comments Wed, 20 Jul 2011 14:29:50 +0000 Geri Jeter http://calitreview.com/?p=18621 Dance in the Desert Festival, is relatively new to the Las Vegas dance scene.

It feels both stylish and vaguely unformed -- an aesthetic that runs through the piece, from the attitude of the dancers to the block-lettered "THE" placed challengingly on the lip of the stage. ]]> http://calitreview.com/15738/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/15494 http://calitreview.com/15494#comments Wed, 20 Apr 2011 19:03:11 +0000 Geri Jeter http://calitreview.com/?p=15494 http://calitreview.com/15494/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/15354 http://calitreview.com/15354#comments Thu, 14 Apr 2011 19:29:07 +0000 Geri Jeter http://calitreview.com/?p=15354 http://calitreview.com/15354/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/14919 http://calitreview.com/14919#comments Wed, 13 Apr 2011 17:28:33 +0000 Hanna Oldsman http://calitreview.com/?p=14919 http://calitreview.com/14919/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/14952 http://calitreview.com/14952#comments Fri, 25 Mar 2011 19:57:51 +0000 Hanna Oldsman http://calitreview.com/?p=14952 http://calitreview.com/14952/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/14985 http://calitreview.com/14985#comments Wed, 23 Mar 2011 00:46:32 +0000 Geri Jeter http://calitreview.com/?p=14985 glorious!
