The New York Times‘ Alastair Macaulay attended a performance by the Limón Dance Company at the 92nd Street Y this weekend; the Limón Dance Company has a long and storied history at 92Y. The performance was “stylishly and intelligently performed,” Alastair wrote, noting that with each visit here he gets “...a more detailed — often a changed — understanding of this [modern dance] tradition.”:

The whole program provided multiple examples of the best old-school values of modern dance: making firm contrasts of contours and rhythms, delivering movement with both intensity and objectivity, showing choreography in an equal and unslavish dialogue with music.

The Limón Dance Company performed as part of the Harkness Dance Festival and the wide range of programming for 75th Anniversary of the Harkness Dance Center. Up next this weekend is Doug Varone Presents. The following weekend, Mar 19-21, is Yoshiko Chuma & The School of Hard Knocks and lastly, on the weekend of Mar 26-28, is Molissa Fenley and Friends.
