The venue, music, and lighting were fine. Occasionally, the music was great. Occasionally, the music and lighting were distractions from the dance, rather than supporting it or adding to it. The first piece, which was predominantly a constant running back and forth across the stage by the performers who then would stop and strike a yoga pose, (which were often too difficult for several of the performers), came together somewhat toward the end when there was finally some interaction between dancers and the energy level seemed to even out. The costumes were a distraction and did not add visually--they seemed ill fitting and uninteresting.

The second piece was done with a "sculpture" which was manipulated throughout the dance by the dancers themselves, and this did not work at all. The artistic director briefly explained before and after that the point was that the dancers took their cues from the sculpture---made no sense how it was explained and watching it didn't help. The music shifted, the dancers did their thing, the sculpture was changed around, people took turns doing acrobatic stuff, the guy almost dropped the girl, yoga poses again, trembling legs and people straining to perform the choreography, too contrived, too disjointed, I was praying for it to be over when the lights went out.

I wanted to like this and did enjoy the last quarter of the first piece. But overall I was disappointed by the amateurism of the production. It was embarrassing to watch a group of people trying so hard and obviously wanting to be good, but failing. I do not recommend this.
