Karen Campbell reviews Hubbard Street Dance Chicago for Globe

300h

Hubbard Street Dance Chicago in Doug Varone's "Constant Shift of Pulse"

Here's a taste of Karen Campbell's typically thorough review:

"Swedish choreographer Johan Inger may not be a common name among dance
lovers in the United States, but surely it's only a matter of time. His 'Walking Mad' on last night's sold-out Hubbard Street Dance Chicago
program at the Cutler Majestic Theatre was the evening's riotous hit, a
clever, surreal romp set to Ravel's 'Bolero.' Choreographed in 2001 for
the Nederlands Dans Theater, with which Inger performed in the 1990s,
the "mad" in "Walking Mad" evokes both connotations, but it is a
slightly daft quality that gives the work its charm."

Read all of Dancers grounded in flights of fancy.

It's worth noting two things 1) Hubbard Street continues tonight and tomorrow and 2) Celebrity Series of Boston is also presenting NDT2 this season, the second company of Nederlands Dans Theater mentioned above.
