First review for SEVEN by Broken Rhythms is in Read, share and come see for yourself Next show tomorrow (Saturday) at 3pm -Review by CFUV The Fringe kicked off with a bang last night bringing out 20 shows to Victoria. I stayed at Metro Studio for the evening for the opening performances of Seven and Vasilisa. Seven is the new show from Broken Rhythms Victoria, a rhythmic contemporary dance troupe here in town. They have blown away audiences for the last two years with their Pick of the Fringe winning shows Spark and Grimm. Each year, the group takes on a new theme to tell a story through dance. This year, choreographer Dyana Sonik-Henderson chose the seven stages of grief. In the past, I’ve always felt that Broken Rhythms did a great job of creating dance shows that were accessible to audiences who may not be familiar with the genre. By the end of the show this year, I felt they brought that same energy back to the stage. The four dancers that make up the show are by far the highlight this year. Their strength, emotion, and stamina were something to be reckoned with even with the dark tone of the material. Taking on the seven stages of grief through dance is a challenge because there is no specific story one can tell, but as an audience member, I found myself filling in the gaps with my own personal experience. Seven is a perfect example of the stunning local talent Victoria has to offer and is perfect for anyone looking to try something new at this year’s Fringe. I caught up with Dyana after the performance to talk about Seven and her inspiration this year. https://soundcloud/cfuv/victoria-fringe-seven-august-22-2014 Until next time, Phoenix
