FEED YOUR HEAD CAFE: weekend 1 comments

We had a great turnout for the opening weekend of Dance Alloy Theater's FEED YOUR HEAD CAFE! Opening night was SOLD OUT, Saturday's Cupcakes with the Cast was fun for all, and Sunday's Matinee was great for families and students.

This week's feature guest artist was Aaron Ingley of Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre. The featured queen was Jezabel D'Opulence. They were amazing. Don't forget, there is a different featured guest artist and featured queen each weekend.

Here is what this weekend's audience thought:

...actually what this tells me, what this shows me, was sort of a sadness of what we go through in life, and some of the pleasures, and some of the needs, and some of the wonder, and I think it was all there in that performance – I really, really do.

Helen Corning, Beth's Mother, Washington, D.C.

It didn’t strike me as odd, I don’t think. I thought it was pretty powerful. I thought it was, like, very adult. It made me think a lot. There is no determining life!

Debbie, Waitress, Mt. Washington

...But overall, I liked the symbolism about life in general, I thought it was really good. And especially since I was a former waitress, too, so I thought it was interesting.

Jenny, Sales Rep, North Hills

I thought it was fabulous; it was like being in a dream.

Bernie Hanlon, Self-employed, Monroeville

I thought it was fantastic, it was really superb. And it was so interesting, and I loved the musical choices… I loved when they all came on in tutus with the stripes, and the piece where they come in holding the women on their backs.

Verity Stevens, Student, Highland Park

I thought it was quite interesting. But I just didn’t understand all of it. You know what I mean? There were some parts I liked extremely well…I loved it. And some parts went really slow for me. But that’s to be expected. But all in all, I enjoyed it…I loved the costumes, the music was really interesting.
PJ, Northside

I liked the swinging part, I loved that climbing wall. I tell you what, lots and lots of props make me nervous: like what’s not going work, what’s going fall over. Loved the cigarette lighting, loved the dynamite, and just the repetitive nature of that. But I also really liked when she talked. I thought that that put an interest context to it. And I liked that Alice wasn’t the youngest dancer. When she reveals herself it’s like whoa, Alice in the future!

Christine, Edgewood
