We went over to the Joyce Theater on 8th Avenue and 19th street to see her group perform. I am not qualified to critique dance so I'll refer my readers to the review in the New York Times. The first performance was called the Raggedy Dances which featured a pianist playing ragtime music. The second act was The Fugue with no music at all. Both of those programs were first done in the early 1970s. There was a new piece called Entr'acte where Twyla Tharp appeared in a sweat short and danced with her troupe while talking to her dancers. She danced very well for a 76-year-old.
Now to Dylan Love Songs where the troupe danced to actual Dylan recordings. The songs were
- You Ain't Goin' Nowhere
- Lovesick
- I Want You
- Simple Twist of Fate
- Things Have Changed
- Shelter from the Storm
- Jokerman
When the dancers performed to Lovesick I really thought that someone would appear as "Soy Bomb" as seen below from the 1998 Grammy Awards Ceremony. It didn't happen today.
