We've devoted a fair amount of time to some bigger shows this week. However, our 3 favorite recent productions took us back to our punk roots with stripped down, bare bones sets and high energy creativity. We'll be featuring full reviews of Breakbone Dance Company's critically acclaimed Course of Empire, Lookingglass' Peter Pan, and Traces this week. We've recommended and done short reviews on all 3 productions, but we'll have a more in depth look later this week.
Course of Empire is gone but not forgotten. Check Breakbone DanceCo out on social media like Facebook for reviews, photos and updates on their next work in progress. You can friend, follow and like them all from their main Breakbone page HERE.

7 Fingers (Les 7 doigts de la main) is an astonishingly talented French Canadian company that has pioneered a whole new brand of theatrical entertainment, and their smash-hit production, TRACES, will launch its U.S. tour in Chicago this fall. Combining awe-inspiring acrobatic training with infectious urban energy, seven performers deliver dazzling, gravity-defying displays of skill that produce “one of the most creative and inspiring pieces of entertainment I’ve ever witnessed” (Edinburgh’s The Sun)– balancing on each other’s heads, tumbling through hoops and leaping spectacularly up giant poles without using their hands. More than just a display of acrobatic brilliance, the audience is gradually drawn into the performers’ real life stories and, by the final, dramatic climax of the show, on the edge of their seats, willing them to pull off the seemingly impossible. “Mesmeric, spontaneous and unpretentious,” (London’s Metro), this thrill-a-minute show will leave you begging for more.
