Here is another review of the show I am dancing in! It isn't the best review for the concert as a whole, but the critic says some really nice things about my solo! I'm in in one of the pictures!!!
"“Retire to Other Latitudes,” a solo piece choreographed and performed by Andrew Zanoni, provided a much-needed break from the schizophrenia preceding it. Although Zanoni seemed a little spent (rightly so – he and Cambra were impressively athletic in “How You Doin?” moments earlier), he danced deliberately and gracefully to “Overgrown” by James Blake. Matching the song’s soulful crescendos, Zanoni built to slow cartwheels and pretty, cryptic hand gestures. It felt like a nice sigh of relief."
Not many of you know me or know what I do in my real life. I am a professional dancer and this weekend I have a show! It's a great show with many wonderful dancers, but here is what a critic wrote about my performance last night!
"Zanoni, a compact and muscular dancer usually given to comedy, expressed yearning through an expressive and very beautiful sort of writhing to James Blake's haunting "Overgrown," He punctuated that movement with a repeated, ritual set of gestures -- hands apart, hands together, hands to the face -- as if his character were pulling himself together, girding himself against the terror of the passage of time."
I haven't choreographed a solo in a very long time and it feels great to get such a nice review that I had to share it!
