Wonderful mix of modern dance & tap. Not to be missed!
No pretension, just skilled dancers and superb storytelling. Every year Beth Megill brings something new, and this Rogue show is enthralling, as always. I laughed, I cried!
I could see this again and again. Loved the energy and vibrancy.
I can’t wait until next weekend to see this show again! I found myself laughing and crying in this well paced hour of unbelievably superb dance. In a Rogue that is filled with great shows this year this is my favorite. Go see it, it’s what dance should be.
Wonderful dancers, versatile movement, and honest emotions make this a show definitely worth seeing! Don’t miss these talented dancers and this superb choreographer!
This show really shows the dynamic range of this company. From somber to joyful to comic everything is beautifully done without being forced or pretentious. It is accessable and entertaining for all audiences even if you think you don’t like “modern dance”.
Great show! So much fun-great music, energy, and passion. So sad I could only see it one time!
I’ve seen Megill & Company every year they’ve been at the Rogue Festival, and they just keep getting better. The dancing has always been good, and the show’s have been interesting and creative, but this year’s show really takes off from the high mark they set last year and goes to the next dimension. This is a complete show, stories as interesting, entertaining, and heart-felt as anything you’ll see at the Rogue, all told in dance.
I don’t understand how people are still sleeping on Megill and Co. Today she announced it was their largest crowd and it was maybe 1/3 full (or a bit more).
That’s abhorrent. This show was a tender mix of witty, moving, compelling, whimsical, touching, poetic (literally) with some brilliance thrown in.
I could have done without the younger kids dance, but whatever, it was cute. The unfinished symphony excerpt is what NOCO wishes they had – strong direction, incredible depth, dancers as actors, and tight tight choreography with brilliant (there’s that word again) vision.
But Megill was lacking one thing NOCO had: big crowds.
Not that NOCO is bad, on the contrary…but that people let Megill and Co slip off their radar each year is just confusing.
Also confusing is why this BYOV doesn’t know a thing about lighting for dance, even tho it’s a dance studio/academy with plenty of lighting instruments. That’s a shame I hope is corrected by next year.
Just wondering what your lighting suggestions are? We are limited by the fact that our light have to fit a number of different shows with totally different needs and “tech rehearsals” of about one hour- but we are always open to new ideas.
Energetic, talented dancers in a variety of styles. Funny, poignant — the whole range of emotions. Great show!
