Last weekend'ss ballet, "Momentum", was not to be missed! The contemporary dance group performed in the swanky Gibson Lounge in front of a a hundred or so memphians. Extra space was scarce but it only made for a more intimate setting-no chair was more than 20 feet from the modest stage. At first, the closeness of everything (the bar and buffet to the spectators, the back stage to the spectators, and sardined viewers themselves) and poorly projected Eric Clapton album that kicked off the set distracted from the dancers on stage. But ask me a song or two later and I would have been too busy being wowed by Kendall Britt and Nicole Corea's spicy moves. Later classical adaptations of Radiohead songs and bold moves to cliche 80's tracks kept the night interesting to say the least. All in all, the dancers did well with the tight space, kicking the season off with the kind of energy that the show's title suggests.
