Buffalo Contemporary Dance: Dances for Our Mothers
by Cynnie Gaasch
May is dance month in Buffalo, a dreamland for dance lovers. This week, Buffalo Contemporary Dance will provide an emotional roller coaster through movement, in the performance space of the Church on Delaware, newly renovated for such happenings. The show includes interpretations of the film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, a tale of sisters’ unconditional love, stress, chaos and survival through adversity. Eight outstanding dancers who have come to make Western New York home bring five works of modern and contemporary dance to life with their strength and grace. This performance is devoted to all of the mothers out there, and attendance at this concert is a suitable gift for yours. There is nothing so soul-stirring as watching the swift and easy movements of a skilled dancer, interpreting human emotion and intellect with her trained body. The concert includes a wide range of musical selections and spoken word as accompaniment, assisting those bodies in making the transition through many mixed worlds.
Friday May 12 & Saturday, May 13 at 8pm. The Church, 341 Delaware Avenue and Tupper Street (884-2154),
$20, $15 for senior and students.
