A&B 2014

Went to Providence for an excellent little show - would not have known about it if I did not have the excellent modern dancer daughter-in-law, Ali Kenner Brodsky, this year's recipient of Art Fellowship for Choreography in Rhode Island, rehearsal director for Lost Wax Company, this weekend presenting her own work with her colleague Betsy, for the A&B production in a black box theater on Empire Street, plenty of parking just a block beyond in a lot that is full in the day.
 I attended rehearsals for Ali's last piece while watching my grandson. One of the dancers runs a studio in Fall River, another is Shura Baryshnikov, and another Miss Massachusetts 2013.
Talking to a ballet dancer before hand, we discussed my forte, ballroom dance, which she likened to Contact Improv dance, one of the hardest forms to master. Contact Improvisation Ballroom - it just gets better the more you can mix that in.
