Cain Park: Take Seven

This is the eighth year that GroundWorks Dance Theater has performed at Cain Park. Sitting in row B in the intimate setting of the Alma Theater, we were about 6-8 feet from the dancers.

Of the three pieces on the program, the one I enjoyed most was Unpublished Dialogues, a theatrical piece about Virginia Woolf. Amy Miller, who has been with GroundWorks since its inception in 1998, was riveting as Woolf. The setting is the day before her suicide. Four other dancers protrayed six characters of Woolf's life: her younger self, Vita Sackville-West, her husband, her nephew, and her two half-brothers. It was a powerful piece.

I wish I could have found a clip of it but the following will have to suffice.
