Saw Matthew Bourne’s Edward Scissorhands tonight at BAM. New Adventures was in fine form, the dancers were great and so was the set. The tweaking of the story (adding a prologue) for the stage worked. The town vixen was especially fun.
Read a recent review that questioned the need for the retelling of the film in dance theater form….Lots of fairy tales get retold again and again…there is no reason not to add a modern work to the mix. Definitely a good time. Upcoming dates (in Toronto, St. Paul, MN, Denver and Seattle) can be found here.
Summary of Matthew Bourne’s talk on the 15th can be found at BAMDialogue: Matthew Bourne
