La Jolla Music Society is presenting the ambitious Canadian dance program at the San Diego Civic Theatre on Wednesday
The marriage of music and dance requires a careful collaboration, one that allows for both genres to complement each other. Les Ballets Jazz Montréal's “Dance Me” fuses the emotionally potent songs of Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen with the movement language of the contemporary company. Presented by the La Jolla Music Society and staged Wednesday at the San Diego Civic Theatre, the show makes the case for a match made in heaven.
Choreographer Foniadakis uses rapid movement and powerful lifts for “Boogie Street,” so the dancers look like an undulating sculpture. And the waltzing “Dance Me to the End of Love” is accompanied by the vocal track included in the 2009 “Live in London” recording.
