THISTHAT #1 REVIEWS
Boston’s dance showcases have often been motley affairs… Bring in a curator as seasoned as Daniel McCusker, however, and motley changes to melody. McCusker had been wondering how to shine a light on his own creative preoccupations as a dancemaker, concerns that include non-narrative dances that “require a mentally and emotionally active audience to imaginatively complete them. These are pieces that use form and structure to convey content.” …he gathered some friends and associates and came up with a coherently beautiful “salon” of dance and video works he called “THISTHAT Show No. 1. May there be No. 2, and No. 3, and up into double digits.
—Debra Cash, Boston Phoenix
Disparate works mesh in a satisfying, moving show... the dance-oriented mixed bill "THISTHAT" at Green Street Studios this past weekend… is a testament to the vision and aesthetic of the concert's curator and producer, Daniel McCusker. The veteran dancer/choreographer believes all the program's works share a common concern for "structure combined with the intuitive," and hopes "THISTHAT" inaugurates a series of showcases bringing together kindred artistic spirits. I hope so, too.
