HQ Review: “STORYSCAPES” by Karlovsky and Company Dance
In Karlovsky & Company Dance’s evening-length work, STORYSCAPES, the program posed the questions: “What are the stories and attitudes shared that get passed down through the generations? What stories do we want to continue to embrace? What stories should we re-evaluate? What stories should simply end?” If the stories we tell ourselves create the landscapes we live in, then investigating those stories for veracity, usefulness, and value becomes paramount.
HQ Review: Karlovsky and Company Dance’s “In Transit”
InTransit, a community project led by Karlovsky & Company Dance, began during the pandemic and has endured beyond those strict restrictions. In this year's iteration, audience members moved between five locations: four small, brief performances culminating in a finale at a fifth location. Audiences were invited to chose their own starting location: Tree Grove at the Pulitzer, Park-Like, Spring Church, or The Sheldon.
