		<description><![CDATA[Rachel Damon’s project for four dancers, a year in the making with help from a Chicago Dancemakers Forum grant, begins simply enough: a greeting in one-word phrases to the audience (small; capacity is about twenty-five), then Damon and Ni’Ja Whitson roll two of three six-foot square walls to opposite sides of the stage. Behind them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED With such regular fare as &#8220;The Nutcracker&#8221; and &#8220;Cinderella,&#8221; it&#8217;s easy to forget that the Joffrey has built its reputation as a contemporary ballet company, one likely to lead audiences into reconsideration of the increasingly flimsy boundaries between dance&#8217;s genres. With &#8220;Eclectica,&#8221; a three-piece repertory now at the Auditorium, we can report that the [...]]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://newcitystage.com/?p=8156</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[The Joffrey Ballet’s return of Sir Frederick Ashton’s “Cinderella” is well danced but lacks magic. First performed by the company in 2006, this retelling of the classic never gets as dark as the original source material and never gets as frothy and bright as more modern adaptations. The talents of the stepsisters are much appreciated [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED The Joffrey Ballet stays true to Sir Frederick Ashton’s definitive version of the world’s best-known fairy tale with plenty of frills and spectacle, including a life-sized pumpkin coach. The wicked stepsisters, played by men, lend a slapstick edge to the saccharine tale. Wendy Ellis Somes, a former dancer with the Royal Ballet, staged this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED It has been quite some time since Joffrey Ballet gave Chicago a full-length narrative ballet, but the company opens its new season with the premiere of  Lar Lubovitch’s “Othello.” The story of the ill-fated Venetian general dates back well before Shakespeare’s telling to Giraldo Cintio’s original legend published in 1566.  Lubovitch’s adaptation uses strong [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Stridulation is the production of sound achieved by rubbing two body parts together. One of the opening—and most stunning—moments of the new collaborative work by choreographer Rachel Damon and voice artist Dan Mohr casts a spot on two humming dancers, stacked back-to-back and rotating like a giant nocturnal insect inspected under a flashlight. Stridulate [...]]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://newcitystage.com/?p=774</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED The distance in this case is measured with rigor, in potent, disciplined strokes. Two new pieces, each fueled by near uninterrupted momentum, stand in bold yet harmonious contrast. In Ashleigh Leite’s “I Live in Perfect,” limbs seem to reach beyond their physical limits to slice massive curves across the stage; straightened arms push aside [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Of his 1924 play “In the Jungle of Cities,” Bertolt Brecht entreats his audience not to “worry your heads about the motives of the fight, concentrate on the stakes.” Peter Carpenter’s latest creation for Lucky Plush, inspired by Brecht’s Chicago tale of two men locked in battle, dissects the concept of a motivation-less struggle [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED “American Moderns” is finally here. The name of the program refers to choreographers that challenge expectations and broaden the definition of what dance can be. It is Joffrey Ballet, however, that is truly the master. Nowhere will you find such grace, athleticism and all around badassery as you will on the stage of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Never one to shy away from the provocative, Bill T. Jones tackles murder and morality in the latest production of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, “Chapel/Chapter.” Central to the piece is a question posed by Jones: &#8220;How can this event suggest the uneasy distance our mediatized era helps create between the passive [...]]]></description>
