Michael Pink, the artistic director at Milwaukee Ballet has once again proved that his unique and individual style continues to gather high-level praise on a national level.
This time, it is Carol Escoda, the respected dance critic for the Huffington Post.
Escoda was in Milwaukee to see the premiere of Pink's latest creation, "Dorian Gray," adapted from the famed novel by Oscar Wilde. In her review, posted Tuesday, Escoda calls the production "imaginative" and "mind-blowing" as she rings praise down onto the company.
Pink has developed an international reputation as, perhaps the premiere story teller among all current ballet artistic directors.
It's nice that he's brining even more national attention to Milwaukee. You can read Escoda's review here, as well as my review here.
The ballet will also be performed this weekend. Information on showtimes and tickets is available here.
With a history in Milwaukee stretching back decades, Dave tries to bring a unique perspective to his writing, whether it's sports, politics, theater or any other issue.
He's seen Milwaukee grow, suffer pangs of growth, strive for success and has been involved in many efforts to both shape and re-shape the city. He's a happy man, now that he's quit playing golf, and enjoys music, his children and grandchildren and the myriad of sports in this state. He loves great food and hates bullies and people who think they are smarter than everyone else.
This whole Internet thing continues to baffle him, but he's willing to play the game as long as OnMilwaukee.com keeps lending him a helping hand. He is constantly amazed that just a few dedicated people can provide so much news and information to a hungry public.
Despite some opinions to the contrary, Dave likes most stuff. But he is a skeptic who constantly wonders about the world around him. So many questions, so few answers.
