 Tweets! <http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/issue/postcard/14-08-15-Tweets.jpg> 

Contrary to popular belief, Twitter did not invent the abbreviated message
service known as tweets. That honor belongs to Lucy Lamington, who began
"tweeting" way back in the 1940s. She did so by conversing with her pet
grackles in a high - pitched, s queaky - cheep y vo ice. Due to the birds'
short attention span, Lucy limited her vocalizations to 140 tweet s per
session . But once the birds started to respond in kind , voila ! - social
networking and microblogging ( interspecific, to be sure ) w ere born!

 MaD Circle
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/img/14-08-08-MaD_Circle_poster.jpg> 

MaD Circle

The second "MaD Circle" performance at the Composer's Voice Concert Series
was another successful presentation of new music and dance. (See my other
review for the first MaD Circle performance click here.
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/issue/14-07-18.htm#intern_review> ) The "MaD
Circle" project sought to rethink the classic forms of the waltz and tango
by combining commercial dance and concert dance to create something new. 

 Callie Hatchett <http://www.voxnovus.com/member/pic/Callie_Hatchett.jpg>
Erin Bomboy <http://www.voxnovus.com/member/pic/Erin_Bomboy.jpg> 

For this concert, curators Erin Bomboy and Callie Hatchett called for
choreographers to create new works set to original music written for the
project. Each selected choreographer was given a piece of music, based on
either the waltz or tango form, and assigned to revitalize the form of
classic dance "for a new generation through fresh choreographic ideas and
rejuvenated music structures". Like the first "MaD Circle" performance, the
result was a variety of unique takes on innovating upon classical forms. 

 Natalie N. Johnson <http://www.voxnovus.com/member/pic/Natalie_Johnson.jpg>

A stand-out work from the concert was Natalie N. Johnson's generative
grammar, performed by Anna Hulse and Justine Lee and set to music by Oldrini
Norberto. Norberto's Depistango, to which Johnson's choreography was set,
was a clarinet solo full of disjunct lines and elusive meters. Johnson's
choreography, which was performed with great energy by Hulse and Lee,
matched this music quite effectively, using quick, aggressive movements and
leaps across the stage to match the style of Norberto's work. This harmony
between music and dance coupled high quality of both elements made
generative grammar one of the most effective pieces of the afternoon. 

 Jonathan Breton <http://www.voxnovus.com/member/pic/Jonathan_Breton.jpg> 

Another highlight of the performance was Jonathan Breton's Carcan, which he
both choreographed and performed. Breton piece was set to music by David
Charles Meckler, whose A Tango dreams of Being a Waltz was one of the
strongest pieces of music on the concert. In contrast to some of the other
works, Meckler's piece took a more abstract approach and went further in
remaining what the tango and waltz could become. The result was music that
did not at first sound like standard dance music, but was in reality set to
stunning choreography by Breton that perfectly matched Meckler's sounds.
Breton's athletic performance had him leaping and rolling around the stage
in a graceful way that matched the eeriness of Meckler's music and captured
the audience's attention.
