Margaret Jenkins Dance at Columbia Dance

"A Slipping Glimpse, developed in India and the United States, features dancers from both the renowned Tanusree Shankar Dance Company of Calcutta and the Margaret Jenkins Dance Company of San Francisco."

It was in the round. It started with an outside prologue.

A little bit of a mismatch between the two companies, but you've got to love the spirit of dance from the West Coast.

Hubbard Street Dance

We went to see Hubbard Street, primarily to see Tharp's "Baker's Dozen." Didn't know if our tastes have changed, or what, but it was a little...hmmm, hmmmm. Also saw Susan Marshall's Kiss, a Hubbard Street staple.

Second City

We hadn't been to Second City since we moved to Chicago. (Have I ever mentioned the hysterical performance they did at the meeting of the National Hospice Foundation. Kid you not, I was here to present about the community work we did around a hospice based photographic exhibition at the Wexner Center, and they were GREAT.) This was a good show, but time and Jon Stewart have changed everything...
