Catch a wave

Article Abstract:

The most out of the ordinary and futuristic work at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's latest Next Wave Festival was 'California', which was choreographed by John Jasperse who co-designed the lighting with Joe Levasseur and the costume concept with Katy Pyle. Pina Bausch's Tanztheater Wuppertal returned to BAM and her latest offering 'For the Children of Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow' has both new and old theatrical conventions.
