Last night I had the privilege and pleasure to see Parsons Dance perform at the Joyce Theater. Parsons Dance is renowned for presenting the latest and greatest of modern movement, music and artistry. And believe me when I say they live up to the hype!
The dancers are talented and visibly passionate, but they’re only one part of the show. The music is varied and the lighting outstanding.

By the time Closure ended, I realized that I hadn’t yet torn my eyes away from the stage to take notes—or even blinked!
Sleep Study, another piece in the program, was just as enthralling from the moment the dancers came out in pajamas and started to toss and turn their way around the stage. It was not only entertaining, but also fascinating. [click to continue….]
