PlusWorld-class review of ballet and dance.
Internationally renowned choreographer and dancer Marc Brew needs little introduction to dance aficionados. He has worked with, among many others, the Australian Ballet School, Infinity Dance NY, and CandoCo, and presented work at the Bejing Olympics and Paralympic Games in 2008. Having founded Marc Brew Company in 2001, he makes work which is challenging, endlessly inventive, and beautiful. His newest production, “An Accident / A Life” sees him team up with another dance great, the Belgian dancer, choreographer and director Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. This piece examines, in part, the devastating car crash in South Africa which left Brew paraplegic and killed the three other passengers—Brew's girlfriend, her brother and their friend. But as with so much of Brew's work, this is but one component of the piece. I caught up with Brew to find out more details.
