Trey McIntyre Project & Sungyop Hong's Korea National Contemporary Dance Company at BAM's Fisher Space

Ahhh, technology! I was lucky enough to be chosen to moderate the post show discussion after Trey McIntyre Project (TMP) and Korea National Contemporary Dance Company's (KNCDC) historical coming together as part of BAM's DanceMotion USA program (http://dancemotionusa.org/). Both choreographers shared the evening with presentations of their own works. Three excerpts of Hong's delightfully keen craftsmanship in Mosaic (From Suspicious Paradise), Can't It Really Be Helped? Flame (From Deja Vu) and (From Rashomon,  Hoshitamtam). Though only excerpts, besides having a chance to see Hong's company of technicians, Hong's sense of space, movement, timing, texture and well-rounded dance theatre rang loudly. Let's hope KNCDC returns. From TMP was Bad Winter featuring Brooklyn's own Chanel DaSilva in a delightful solo and Travis Walker and Ashley Werhun in a duet filled with exchanging weight. Plus, in full regalia, donning a mix of fabulous costumes, matched with fun songs and terrific dancing, TMP closed the evening with Ladies and Gentle Men by McIntyre and inspired by the television series "Free to Be...You and Me." Both companies came together in the evening opener, McIntyre's witty The Unkindness of Ravens (http://www.bam.org/treymcintyre).

Here's where the technology came in and literally blows my mind. The entire evening was streamed live to Korea and when the performance ended, monitors were pulled on to the stage as we set up for the "Post-Show Artist Talk." Our panel was Sungyop Hong, Ben (the interpreter), John Michael Schert (Executive Director/Co-Founder/Dancer) and Chanel DaSilva (Dancer). Once we settled, questions came from Korea to Brooklyn and vice versa. What an experience! This is what I call sharing dance!

Disclaimer - The DanceMotionUSA YouTube link below gives the entire show, but there is no sound!  I'll keep checking back to see if this changes.  Really great to see the dancing though.  Sorry about that!
