You Tubin’: Dance-Centric Web Series The GoGo Life Debuts
“This scene’s on the verge of breaking out mainstream.” Even though the trailers for Zerosun Pictures’ new web series The GoGo Life didn’t start dropping until two weeks ago, Ms Easy’s prediction about the future of the genre was probably made almost two years ago (when principal photography began). Easy, Creative Director for Denver’s Beta...
Carry On – to Denver, to Wonderbound.
Ballet Nouveau Colorado is getting a makeover. The company, now known as Wonderbound, will continue doing what it does best – collaborating with a wide variety of artists in the Denver area, but at a new location in the Five Points area starting in March. Wonderbound speaks to the unparalleled artistic synergy the company has...
Hindsight: Moonwalking Through Sundance
Even bald men get a wild hair once in awhile. It happened to me recently. Last Thursday, former Denverite Nathan Leite mentioned he was performing at Sundance, Hollywood’s annual snow ball in Park City, Utah (my pink dreadlocked friend Bambu was due to go-go too). It just so happens I’d been jonesing to return ever...
Health Bent: Jordan New Fuses Breakdance & Yoga for Urban Flow
At first glance, the ego eradication of yoga might seem the polar opposite of breakdancing’s intrinsic showoff swagger. Anyone familiar with both knows the two disciplines share a few moves, though. Consider side crow pose, which is strikingly similar to one of the most common stalls executed by b-boys in the midst of floorwork. Handstands...
Ballet Nouveau Colorado/Wonderbound takes us on “A Journey of the Human Spirit”
As Ballet Nouveau Colorado makes a leap into Denver-based Wonderbound, audiences will be treated to “A Journey of the Human Spirit,” tomorrow at 7:30 pm, and Thursday and 7:30 pm, both at the Newman Center for the Performing Arts on the DU Campus. BNC Artistic Director Garrett Ammon is the master of collaboration, with this...
This Ain’t Yo Momma’s Circus
For many, the circus conjures up images of too many clowns in a car, a tightrope walker with an umbrella and women in barely-there, sparkling leotards riding on elephants. Children in the front row, stay up past their bedtimes and spill popcorn and crackerjacks onto a dusty floor. But that is not Deena Marcum’s MOTH...
Amy Hollinger Dance Benefit
Fifteen dance companies from across the Front Range are putting on their pointe shoes for a cause; that of dancer Amy Hollinger. Hollinger, 22, was struck by a car on the way home from a performance of Colorado Ballet’s Sleeping Beauty on October 20. The driver rushed Amy to Denver Health, but some of the...
Brain Pickin’: Mirror Man Nate on Mad Science, ‘N Sync & His New Vegas Gig
His momma was a dancer. His daddy, he had disco balls. Billboard Magazine called Mirror Man a “festival staple.” Thousands of EDM fans in LA, Denver, Dallas, Kansas City, Orlando, Seattle, New York, Oakland, Austin and even Puerto Rico have been delighted by the dude in the reflective shard-covered suit. Costume designer/performer and former Denverite...
Skate Fete: Disney on Ice Doesn’t Disappoint
Disney theme parks worlds away from you and your rugrats? Disney on Ice is the roadshow version, bringing rodent magic to your city. I was in Orlando recently for a gig, and I still didn’t make it to the mouse castle. Fortunately, Mickey and posse are posted up at The Pepsi Center this weekend for...
Gettin’ Nutty this Christmas
The Nutcracker Ballet is like your mom’s meatloaf. A comfort food, a staple, and something you get burned out of after you’ve eaten leftovers of it for a week. Dancers in every company in the Denver area have probably performed every role in the ballet, and yes, that means cross-dressing, or morphing into a variety...
Robin Antin: The (Pussy)Cat’s Meow
I don’t get intimidated easily. I mean, I’ve fed wild hyenas camel meat from my mouth. But when my phone rang a few minutes after noon, my heart jumped and my stomach lurched. Robin Antin was calling me, and I was terrified. For starters, she’s beautiful, and beautiful women are always a bit...
Hindsight: Midnite Martini’s Sexy Circus Sideshow @ Lannie’s
Midnite Martini’s Sexy Circus Sideshow has officially hit its stride. The local burlesque and aerial performer has been booking and producing the late night Friday show for a couple of years now. She even used to tag team hosting duties, but doing double duty—as both performer and host—was probably stretching herself too thin. Martini is...
