TICKETS + INFORMATION

The Joyce pivots from last week’s dark dark Butoh to the exciting uplifting Kyle Marshall. With Marshall you can take the quality of the choreography (and the dancing) for granted, so let me talk about the music he’s setting. One piece has sound contrived live by ace explorer Cal Fish (Jk: THIS). The next takes off from the spiritually transcendent conscious jazz of Alice Coltrane, a past artist who’s especially relevant NOW if anyone is. But Marshall has saved the best for last: an appreciation by List fave Kwami Winfield of the Black roots of Rock and Roll (an African-American music form stolen by Whites so basely and completely that that it’s now treated as a “breakthrough” when a Black American succeeds in playing so-called “Rock” music for a White audience).
