I have an important event recommendation for anyone reading this in or near Toronto: My dear friends JoDee Allen and Helen Simard of Solid State Break Dance are at the Factory Theatre for the Next Stage Festival, today through Sunday at various times. The show blends two of my favourite dance forms, breakdance and lindy hop (swing) around the following idea:
“With “Take it Back”, Solid State asks the question, Why don’t we dance in couples anymore? It comes down to the idea that someone must lead and the other must follow.”
It comes multiply recommended by Paula Citron of the Globe & Mail, one of my favourite people in the Canadian arts media:
“Helen Simard and JoDee Allen are not just flash and dash…they place hip hop within a well thought out context.”
And they are fun people and it is a fun show.
I have yet to see this show, as I am always in the wrong city at the wrong time. So its your duty to go for me, ok?
If you’d like to add yourself to the Facebook event so you don’t forget, it’shere.
