"Jon Lehrer's delightful Bridge and Tunnel is a playful hymn to the sidewalks of the outer boroughs. It's a first rate sample of American vernacular dance, a genre whose distinguished heritage includes Jerome Robbins's Fancy Free, Agnes DeMille's Rodeo, and Gene Kelley's Singin' in the Rain solo".

Chukchi
2015 Music - Ergyron Lighting - Kam Hobbs Costumes - Laura Vanner Dancers - 8 In November 2014, the company toured to the Far East of Russia - to a city called Anadyr, in the region of Chukotka. On this tour, which was sponsored by the US Department of State, we were treated to a performance by the State Chukchi-Eskimo Song and Dance Ensemble - Ergyron. Chukchi for sunrise, Ergyron’s performance was awe inspiring. After the performance we spent the entire day together, learning about each others cultures and art forms. They taught us a class that combined ballet technique with their traditional dance forms which celebrate their history and daily lives. We taught them our highly physical and athletic technique and style along with company repertoire. Following our day of cultural exchange, Ergyron's Artistic Director gave us their original music and blessing to utilize and share it with the world. Out of this once in a lifetime experience, “Chukchi” was created. This work is our heartfelt thank you and homage to the beautiful people and culture of Chukotka... |
“Chukchi was a spectacle worthy of Broadway. With a tribal feel, Chukchi was breathtaking. When the lights went down, it drew the loudest applause of the evening, and rightfully so.” - Matt Chandler, The Buffalo News |

“Like some exalted goddess, dancer Colleen Walsh was carried and attended to by four male dancers who kept her aloft as if up on a never-ending symbolic pedestal. With a potent mixture of strength, grace and sensuality, her skilled performance as the object of worship was the highlight of the evening." - Steve Sucato, Buffalo News
