Bootleg Theater (Los Angeles, CA)
Tap Dance Widows Club, a cool combination of video, movement and storytelling, and The Tennis Dances, an equally creative and visually inspired piece, are both on the bill for the 35th anniversary of Louise Reichlin & Dancers at L.A.’s Bootleg Theater. Reichlin created the Tap Dance Widows Club after losing her longtime husband, a fellow professional dancer. She reached out to two other women in similar circumstances, developing this touching work that weaves past and present through live movement and video. Reichlin’s signature piece, The Tennis Dances, receives its first full revival since 1999, and has been described by The Los Angeles Times as featuring “clever evocations of theater dance styles … everything from Fokine and Graham to Bejart and beyond, all unified by rackets and nets and tennis balls.”
