Zoologic by Lostwax Multimedia Dance

I am so happy to have a daughter-in-law who is an active modern dancer. Ali Kenner Brodsky is a member of Lostwax, based in Providence, which just presented the world premiere of Zoologic through FirstWorks. We were in the RISD auditorium, reminding us that Providence has a couple of world class universities to fuel creativity. Parking was easy, too!
The multimedia included drones, video of animals projected on several screens and brought on stage with special monitors, a poetic and dramatic text written by Tahlia Field, recited and projected, fabulous costumes, and great dancers. Not just Ali, but also Shura Baryshnikov looking more beautiful than ever, Katie MacNamara, and Sydney Skybetter.
Thank you, Jaimie Jewett, artistic director, for bringing together all that talent!
This show has 'legs' and should go far. The premiere is just this weekend, but we can look for performances in the upcoming months.
