"Tango Fire' at Joyce Theater"
"When "Tango Fire" toured Germany and England last year, audience members showed their approval by wildly stamping their feet. In Korea, they yelled and raised their arms. In China they didn't make much of a ruckus at the curtain calls, but afterward crowds gathered at the stage door for autographs." Read preview...

"Tango in the Clutches of Buenos Aires"
"Unlike many tango groups that pass through New York, the charming Estampas Porteñas (the words mean, roughly, stamp or mark and people born in Buenos Aires) is a tightknit company that never sacrifices spontaneity or Ms. Soler's sprightly sense of theater for a star turn." Read review...

The Return of Fraulein Maria - Performance Details
Joe's Pub at The Public Theater
December 12 - 15, 2007
"The Hills Are Alive (Ditto a Career)"
"The outcome was "Fräulein Maria," Mr. Elkins's characteristically free-associative take on "The Sound of Music," which opens at Joe's Pub on Wednesday night in its second run, after its premiere there last December. Its return in expanded form is a bright light for those who have long admired Mr. Elkins's fabulous capacity for movement invention; his fun-house way of collapsing together, then teasing out different movement traditions; and his clever, funny physical references to choreographers from Martha Graham to Trisha Brown."

Dance Theater Workshop
November 28 - December 1, 2007
"Duped! Beth Gill experiments with transcendent body doubles"
"Beth Gill began her meticulous new quartet, Eleanor & Eleanor, by carefully considering the space it would inhabit: the cavernous, boxy stage of Dance Theater Workshop, where, as she noted after a recent rehearsal, the pitched angle of the audience to the stage theatricalizes everything--like it or not."

"Clifton Brown's Breakout Year"
"He's not a newcomer, but dancer Clifton Brown will receive a trial by fire of sorts when the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater begins its month-long season at City Center on Wednesday. Mr. Brown, 27, will perform in nearly every work on the company's schedule, and will be featured in the season's three major premieres, including Maurice Béjart's "Firebird" and Camille A. Brown's raucous "The Groove to Nobody's Business."" Read review...

"New Feminist Movement"
"Being an out and proud lesbian is one thing; directing a non-lesbian all female dance troupe is another. Maintaining a top-tier dance company while simultaneously engaging in substantial local community outreach activities is pretty much unheard of - unless you are the indefatigable (and really nice) Gina Gibney."
