Performing Arts: Dance Dead Bird Movement presents Entry by Entrance

  • Ebyepic_large
Jessie Smith, Dead Bird Movement's artistic director and lead dancer, embraces high and low physical theater, tackling her company's darkly humorous narratives as if running the gauntlet on American Gladiators. In one moment, a tutu-sporting Ryan Mitchell and Mandie O'Connell toss pies; in the next, Mitchell's hands tighten around Smith's neck. While the troupe can do pratfalls à la I Love Lucy with the best of them, its Punch and Judy-style performances also channel the aggressive impulses of another constantly quarreling couple: Sid and Nancy.
