What I've been seeing lately...

Whew! Busy month! And now it's Pride Weekend! So, some quick notes:

nicholas leichter dance concludes its Spanish Wells premiere season at Dance Theater Workshop tomorrow night, and I'm just realizing just how much the smart and energetic Leichter has manage to throw into that very choppy ocean of his. I'm also starting to hear some buzz about Leichter's newest dancer, Mathew Heggem. One to watch.

Tom Pearson and Zach Morris (of Third Rail Projects) conclude their Vanishing Point premiere season at Danspace Project (www.danspaceproject.org) tonight. Everything about this one is big with heart--performances (of which Morris, Donna Ahmadi and Tara O'Con are the standouts), visual design, and music. This is a lovely one. See it, see it, see it!

The uncommonly handsome and indecently-talented Foofwa D'Imobilité concludes his Benjamin de Bouillis season at Baryshnikov Arts Center, a co-presentation with Chez Bushwick, tonight. Of course, he is a master of movement, and his overarching concept of embodiment/disembodiment gets played out in a myriad of clever, fascinating ways. But what I really hope you'll get to see (weather permitting) is the fantastic composition of sky, water towers, pigeons and window frame designed by New York City and God. I missed my camera, desperately, desperately!

And last, there'sThierry Malandain's Ballet Biarritz, concluding a season at the Joyce Theater tonight. I'm not on board for this one, but you'll enjoy the fine dancers.

That's it for now! Happy Pride Weekend!
