Zoe B + Spectrum Dance Theater

First off, thank you so much, Spectrum! I went with a group of about ten people to this sold-out show. Spectrum accommodated us by pulling mats onto the ground in front of the first row, so we were comfortable and literally two feet away from the front of the stage. This is a different experience from PNB. I could feel the ground shaking under me. I could see the sweat, hear the dancers breathing. You could really feel the violence that is inherent in dancing. Sometimes you forget, seeing people run around in tutus hundreds of feet away from you: dancing is heaving yourself to the ground, it is contorting your body into impossible positions over and over and over. This realization comes easier given the aggressive sexuality of the pieces. The dancers run from each other, they are possessed. They exam their partners, groping breasts and examining teeth. This isn't your typical dance performance, and it isn't a part of our sexuality that is normally examined. But it's there all the same, so check it out. This weekend is your last chance.

NOTE: Peering Into The Ballroom: Three Dances at Spectrum Dance Theater is now closed. Catch Spectrum'sThe Mother of Us All, March 3 - 5 at the Moore Theatre.
