"The Yamanakas at Home"
-- By Tom Phillips
| The Yamanakas at Home |
It's not that often that three disparate dance pieces fit together so well that they seem to be subtly referring and commenting on each other -- but last night's trio of experiments from LaMama seemed to have been made with each other in mind. The bookends were two short pieces by Tamar Rogoff -- one set in downtown Manhattan, the other in a residential neighborhood of Tokyo -- with entirely different characters and themes, but a single groove -- a Motown beat that gets you on your feet, and won't let you do anything but dance.
