An absolutely delightful evening spent with Jan and Rick.
First, there was dinner at Light Bistro: caramelized scallops with black pepper risotto and tomato jam for me; oven roasted chicken breast with warm potato-mushroom and spinach salad and truffle brown sauce for my Sweetie.
Then it was off to see GroundWorks Dance Theater. There were two world premieres on our dance card this evening.
“The Return”, choreographed by David Shimotakahara, is his take on Our Town. I was amazed at his innovative choreography. Just when I think that it is surely not possible for him to surprise me, he does.
The second premiere was David Parker’s “All I Do” set to “All I Do Is Dream of You” and yet, not. The music begins to set the mood and then shortly disappears. The dancers rise to the occasion with rhythmic slapping of themselves and each other. Their interactions and facial expressions made me laugh out loud.
Then came "Boom Boom", another piece by Shimotakahara, set to the blues. We saw this at Cain Park last year and loved it. It was even better this evening.
And what a treat to see David dance in two of the three pieces.
Watch John Lee Hooker perform Boom Boom and see if you can keep from dancing.
