Deborah Jowitt Will No Longer Write For Village Voice
I already posted this on Facebook but am posting again because its just utterly shocking. It seems Deborah Jowitt will no longer be writing for the Village Voice because she does not write enough negative reviews: Via DanceUSA What I write doesn’t seem like arts criticism as he defines it. To put it more baldly: I do [...]
NYCB should ban Alistair Macaulay from future performances
Its been a long time since I have felt the urge to blog but Alistair Macaulay’s latest review just cannot be ignored. With a hat tip to Jezebel’s post, I present to you the following excerpt from his review of New York City Ballet’s Nutcracker: This didn’t feel, however, like an opening night. Jenifer Ringer, as [...]
I couldn’t agree more
Eva Yaa Asantewaa’s Summing Up Alistair Macaulay The New York Times chief dance critic, an import from London, has been holding down a position of outsized power that he never merited. When he first got here, I thought he’d bring a voice of passion, which I value. But, for the most part, I stopped reading his [...]

My latest Work-in-Progress
www.lauriedevito.com That’s right. I made a web site. Pretty cool considering I know little-to-nothing about web design. I used a pretty simple WYSIWYG editor called NVu. Crazy stuff. It’s in the bare bones stages, and is missing some info/parts. It’s all part of the build-up to the evening-length concert that I’m doing with Laurie in [...]

Strebgate
Well we can’t possibly ignore the latest offstage dance-drama regarding Elizabeth Streb and Terry Dean Bartlett. For those who need a refresher: Article 1 Article 2 My perspective on all this? Its difficult to say. Personally, I am obsessive regarding the health of my dancers and students. I willingly change choreography if someone has an injury or if [...]
Latest Performance
So I finished up the Laurie De Vito show in June (we completely sold out–thanks to everyone who came!) and I immediately started working on a new quartet for the New York Summer Dance Intensive concert at Dance New Amsterdam. Most of my friends have been waiting for me to choreograph another piece for a [...]
