Performer: Luke Murphy

Bourne's Edward Scissorhands may not have quite the dramatic impact of his Romeo and Juliet or Swan Lake, but there is much to applaud and enjoy.

Kate Weare is the inaugural artist-in-residence at BAM Fisher. The product of that residency, Dark Lark, is a confusing mix of set design, attention-grabbing costumes, whimsical props and an all-too-spare movement vocabulary.

Luke Murphy’s duet for himself and Carlye Eckert, Drenched, was surprisingly well-suited to the smaller First Floor Theater at La MaMa Moves! festival, but failed to bring to light any new ideas or juxtapositions of its male–female relationship theme.
