Review: The Long Goodbye 小儿子 by Story Works X Dreamland (Huayi 2020)

★★★★☆ (Performance attended 7/2/20) Tackling dementia with both humour and heart.

Review: Almost 55 乔杨 by City Contemporary Dance Company (Huayi 2020)

★★★★☆ (Performance attended 9/2/20) Age is no barrier to Qiao Yang in this dance-biopic of her life.  While most of the narrative heavy-lifting in biopics is often done via text, for a show about a dancer’s life, it makes perfect sense that the story is told not by words, but by her body instead. First performed in Hong Kong in 2019, City Contemporary Dance Company’s … Continue reading Review: Almost 55 乔杨 by City Contemporary Dance Company (Huayi 2020)
