My Early Picks for the 2005 Vancouver Fringe Festival
Last night I went to the Fringe Preview Gala. Not only did I see excerpts from a bunch of shows, but I also grilled artists and staff alike for their favourites. Here’s a quick run-down of what looks promising:
Ricardo Garcia’s "Flamenco Flow" - I was blown away by the excerpt I saw of this show. I just felt privleged to be in the room with such a great guitar player. This isn’t theatre per se—it’s music and dance. It’s got a very globalized groove. Part of the excerpt I saw combined flamenco music with hip hop dancing. It sounds dodgy, but ..... it worked.
