SIFA 2019: Crowd by Gisèle Vienne (Review)

The lines of desire are powerfully drawn over one crazy night at the rave.  While often considered a liminal space of chaos and pure freedom of expression, French choreographer Gisèle Vienne has managed to temper that manic energy and craft a scintillating, multi-layered dance work with Crowd, as we watch the lives of 14 dancers unfold over one night at a rave. Crowd dedicates itself entirely to the … Continue reading SIFA 2019: Crowd by Gisèle Vienne (Review)

SIFA 2019: Körper by Sasha Waltz & Hans Peter Kuhn (Review)

The discomfort of being in our own skin translates to the discomfort of being alive.   Often considered one of her signature works, Sasha Waltz’s Körper has remained incredibly iconic and relevant even 19 years on. While bodies are always a key part of any dance performance, rarely has a production chosen to so boldly examine the body itself in full visceral detail, tearing it down to … Continue reading SIFA 2019: Körper by Sasha Waltz & Hans Peter Kuhn (Review)

SIFA 2019: Ryuichi Sakamoto – Fragments with Shiro Takatani (Review)

A transcendent performance brilliantly portraying the struggle of art and life.  Nobody ever said creating art was easy. But perhaps few people know it quite as well as living legend and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, who had an eight year gap between his latest solo album async (2017) and Out of Noise (2009), during which he struggled to find inspiration. In that time, Sakamoto was also diagnosed with throat cancer, … Continue reading SIFA 2019: Ryuichi Sakamoto – Fragments with Shiro Takatani (Review)
