This is one of my lines from Tov ("good"), a new work-in-progress from the Los Angeles-based ensemble Rosanna Gamson/World Wide. Choreographer Rosanna Gamson is known for layered and literate works of dance theater that are visually evocative, emotionally powerful and deftly crafted. Her newest production threads the histories of her Polish Jewish ancestors with the fate of the tarpan horse, a breed that exists now only in a “recreated” form, to examine reinvention, regeneration and the groundless optimism invoked by the phrase “Gam zeh le-tovah,” or “This too is for the good.”
If you are or will be in Los Angeles on Sunday, January 11th, please come see excerpts of Tov,drink flavored (and/or unflavored) vodka (and/or other soft, medium and hard drinks) and eat delicious snacks and support dance and dance theater in LA. If you are or will be in New York, please come see the first incarnation of Tov in its entirety on January 15th & 17th, presented by the JCC in Manhattan.
