I'm planning on hitting a dance jam tonight. I've only gone to a handful of jams since moving to Ball Square, when the logistics became more difficult. Attending anything in Central that starts any later than 6:30 or so means staying late at work, most likely staring into the aethertubes, and also buying dinner (itself a more complicated ( Read more... )

Just found out that there's going to be a dance photography workshop as part of the Mass Dance Festival this weekend. It's Saturday the 21st from 3 to 4:20, at the Boston Ballet Studios, 19 Clarendon Street, Boston. It's only $12!

Today she sent an email out advertising the sale of the studio (as in the lease and the business; you wouldn't own the space outright). Their website is ( Read more... )

Last Friday fennel saw Sleep No More, an immersive theatre/dance show set in an entire four-floor building (an old school)*. The audience wears white masks, is counselled to remain completely silent, and swirls around the space with the performers. He was so blown ( Read more... )

I went to see La Danse at the Brattle a couple of weeks ago. It's a documentary about the Paris Opera Ballet, one of the world's premiere ballet companies. In what is apparently the director's typical style with documentaries, there are no interviews and no voice-overs -- simply unadorned footage of the intimate workings of the company, from ( Read more... )
