One of my favorite dance companies, Keigwin + Company, is celebrating its 10 year anniversary with a week of performances at the Joyce Theater kicked off by an Opening Night benefit tomorrow night. I won't be able to attend the gala because I will be at another benefit for a theater company on whose board I sit, Rising Circle Theater Collective. I'm a bit surprised that there are two galas that would appeal to my demographic happening on the same night and that I will be attending the one without shirtlessness. I guess October 29th is a hot night! In any case, I have admired Larry Keigwin's athletic and humorous choreography (to pick a mere two adjectives to describe his work) for many years. I was at the Joyce Soho when he premiered his dance on a mattress which marked the beginning of his company. To gear up for the anniversary season, the company has produced a series of mattress dance videos, one of which I have posted for you. Obviously, I posted the shirtless one, but I encourage you to check out the others to get a sense of his whimsical work. The one with the baby is my favorite!
Until next time, I continue to be...
Yours in shirtlessness,
