Berko review: Groundworks Dance Theatre at Cain Park
by Roy Berko 31 Jul '21

31 Jul '21

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: GroundWorks Dance Theater is in the midst of a reconceptualization with five new dancers who must learn not only Artistic Director David Shimotakahara’s request for precision, but in working as a team. The past company transitions indicate that it can be done. It should be interesting to watch.* *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info/>*. * *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
