Tough times bring out the beast. There were lion viewings on both Coasts two weekends ago.
On the Left Coast, the lion roars in a new installation at recently re-re-furbished Clifton’s Republic, the erstwhile Clifton’s Cafeteria. (I am not sure why there is a lion at Clifton’s, but there is one.) On the East Coast, a Denishawn “revival” concert re-stages “Japanese Spear Dance” choreographed in 1919. A wild beast named Ted Shawn first enacted that role. Our intrepid New York City dance correspondent, Susan Reiter, reviews the dance concert here.
