“American Daniel Gwirtzman treated the title seriously in an unpretentious and witty “Doodling” (“Bazgrolić”); the show is a combination of various types of movement (performed for very diverse music), dance “scribbles”, freely taken up and abandoned by the dancer.” Mirosław Baran
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle critic Jack Garner wraps up the KeyBank Rochester Fringe Festival, recapping his “personal cream of the crop.” He writes:
“For me, Fringe ’18 was especially a festival of great dance. One of the biggest joys annually is the presentation of Garth Fagan Dance. We also found a new delight – the Daniel Gwirtzman Dance Company, through their wonderful program-long piece, Encore. It’s a highly theatrical staging of dance, making the audience feel they’re watching a company rehearsal, as the performers work their informal but precise way to a WOW finish! (It’s a bit like a modern dance variation of A Chorus Line.) There’s lots of artful and energetic dance, choreographed by Gwirtzman. He’s a Rochester native who once worked with Garth Fagan’s company before heading to Manhattan. Check out his work if you ever get the chance, in New York or another Fringe, or wherever. It’s fabulous.”
Two weeks until the Company’s Fringe Festival performances, September 15 (6:30pm), September 16 (1pm, 6:30pm). BUY TICKETS HERE!
