As American as…
By Elizabeth Zimmer
In the middle of North America sits the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a world-class campus that pays admirable attention to dance, having produced some of the earliest pioneers in educational dance (including Margaret H’Doubler and Anna Halprin) and having recently hosted a three-week intensive that sent several pieces to mid-July’s World Dance Alliance Global Dance Event (the current president of the WDA, Jin-Wen Yu, is also the chair of the UW-M dance program). Four faculty members—two of Asian descent, one from the Caribbean, and one native Midwesterner— from the school’s dance department shared the final concert program ...

By Elizabeth Zimmer
Friday night’s WDA concert, which sticks in my mind as being a study in floaty white things, opened with a dramatic production out of Taiwan, strongest as a piece of visual art with understated movement motifs. Wen-jinn Luo’s 2009 work, An Independent Sleep, performed by the Scarecrow Contemporary Dance Company, was essentially a video rendering of a poem by Emily Dickinson, “A Long Long Sleep,” projected in calligraphic script on the paper-covered stage floor. The surface was bumpy; I guessed, correctly, that a body lay under the strips of paper. A schematic sculptured ...

World Salad
By Elizabeth Zimmer
Like just about everything else in contemporary culture, dance has become commoditized: you can buy it, you can sell it, and you can use it to build your brand.
Aspiring American dancers who used to flock eagerly to their favorite choreographers, taking class for years and participating in groundbreaking experiments for little or no compensation, are now, like everyone else, in it for the money and the glory. They show up for auditions with little knowledge of a choreographer’s work, inquiring primarily about the terms of the contract, or they set up shop right out of school, forming ...
