Just when I thought Houston dance has experiencing a bit of a lull, in walks a gaggle of Search Optimizer workers, Deuce Ticklebeetle, Shelly Kelly, Roxi Wright, Gretchen Charise Kittridge, Gwenevieve Hues, and Alyssa Roberts, to Good Dog Houston to mess with our heads.
As the season draws to a close in Houston (and occasionally elsewhere in Texas) and I'm already too focused on next season, it's a good time to reflect back on some standout performances.
Contemporary dance in Texas took a suckerpunch with the sudden death of Dallas choreographer Bruce Wood, the closing down of Hope Center and Hope Stone Dance Company and Dominic Walsh's sabbatical from his company Dominic Walsh Dance Theater, all within the space of a month.
It made sense last year when TITAS director Charles Santos cut back on music programs to focus on dance: dance is what makes the performing arts presenter unique.
