July 27, 2016 Central Park – The City Parks Foundation presented the Complexions Contemporary Ballet & Carolyn Dorfman Dance as one of their free events under the 2016 Summer Stage series. To say the show was absolutely amazing is an under statement, from start to finish the performances kept you breathless and in awe, of the marvelous choreography and pinpoint precision of the dancers.
The program opened up with Waves, which, was choreographed by Carolyn Dorfman. The performance drew you in; it was like watching a painter put brush stroke after brush stroke on canvas. The dancers moved with such grace and clock work precision. You found yourself in another word filled with wonder and amazement.
After a brief intermission the genius of Master Choreographer Dwight Rhoden was unleashed, as Complexions Contemporary Ballet took the stage. The dancers moved with grace and flawless accuracy. You found yourself hypnotized in the performances unable to blink or move for fear of missing something; you were swept up and lost all track of time.
All the performances were absolutely amazing, but Desmond Richardson’s performance was earth shattering; every aspect of the performance, the choreography, music and words by Maya Angelou and not to mention Desmond’s elegance pulled on your heartstrings giving you a deep emotional connection to the performance. At the end of the performance I was moved to tears left wanting more.
The program ended with a marvelous finish once again with outstanding choreography and music. The program was free but I bet every one in attendance would pay a hundred times over to see the program again.
