Saw the “Contemporary Dance Showcase, Phase 2: Japan + East Asia” at Japan Society on Friday. A good variety of performances, i.e., tones and colors. In a nutshell, a very strong show, funny, angst-filled at times, beautiful in the most traditional sense of the word.
I found Lee Yong-In’s solo performance to be the strongest, if not necessarily the most original. The sharp precision, the austerity of the movements, and the beauty of the dancer: a very nice piece.
