| Los Angeles Times May 11th 1999 Dance Review by Victoria Looseleaf Highways Performance Space welcomed the exhilarating collective La Danserie. Choreographer-dancer Lisa K. Lock dominated the Highways evening in stamina, verstility and technique. From "Voiceless" a contact improvisation between her and Juan Francisco Robles, to "Perpetual Identities," in which Philip Chang, Vanessa Jue, Tony Licon, Jennifer McDonald-Wilson, Grant Wilson and Jennifer Usyak shed light effectively on issues of trust, fear and isolation, the work soared. Lock shone, too, in McDonald-Wilson’s take on "Waiting for Godo," her loose-limbed playfulness a perfect foil for Jue’s equally enchanting high jinks. Choreographer Patrick Frantz made use of Lock’s heron-like presence in his "Chosen Ones," an Ellis Island-like scenario abounding with fugal moves and furious passion. |
