Inspired by early jazz, the silent film era, and surreal art, Decidedly
Jazz Danceworks newest show WiseApple
is an ode to the early 1900s.
Experimenting with over-the-top movements of silent film actors, The DJD
dancers, clad in flapper attire and long overcoats, perform alongside a
live band, creating a Cotton
Club feel. Theres a charming tribute to the great Charlie Chaplin, a
Dalí-esque lion head thats passed around and a brilliant interpretation
of the classic flickering movements of early film.
WiseApple runs until June 20th at Max Bell
Theatre, Epcor Centre for the Performing Arts. Tickets (from $27) call
403-245-3533, www.decidedlyjazz.com
