Last night Debbie and I went to see the Nichole Canuso Dance Company and The Mural and the Mint perform As the Eyes of the Seahorse. Nichole Canuso and The Mural and the Mint's Michael Kiley are neighbors of ours. Their little son Simon often brightens our day by impromptu visits (a few weeks ago he helped Debbie clear the snow off the deck).
Anyway, we were both very impressed. The Mural and the Mint's refreshingly lyrical rock was finely done, and the dances were consistently compelling (one in particular, performed by two women dancers, had a Patricia Highsmith intensity to it). These two groups are worth keeping an eye on.
The event, by the way, took place in the Maas Building, a former factory in lower Kensington, not far from where my family lived before I was born.
