We’re all about to find out what happens when multiple voices (including, hopefully, yours) and views (of our photographer and documentary videographer—as well as any artists out there working with dance and video or film) are given a public forum to respond to—and possibly initiate—some of the latest developments at the American Dance Festival.
Tomorrow on the site? “Being that unidentified flying object is a pain in the ass”—the complete text of our interview with choreographer Martha Clarke.
Now, riffing on our story in this week’s Indy, here’s a convenient chart that makes the case for déjà vu in this year’s festival programming: Hey, haven’t I seen you somewhere before?
