City/Dans: Cherylyn Lavagnino Dance Co., Theatre at St. Mark's Church, NYC May 2006

Cherylyn Lavagnino, choreographer

"The bravest experiment on Lavagnino's recent Danspace program is Disorderly Conduct, for which she asks dancers to improvise on a set structure to pieces by Brian Groder, played live by Groder's four-person jazz ensemble. The risks [the dancers] take in improvising result not only in strikingly beautiful moments; frequent instability pulls them into clumsy intersections—rawly tender enough to knock you out." -- Village Voice
