From Bach to Richter to Nina Simone on Staccato
from The Second Street Dreams Audio Network · host Judlyne Lilly
There’s nothing like getting a running start and then hitting the COVID wall. Now after 2 years, the Ishida Dance Company is finally able to embrace a live audience (with safety precautions) with their performance, in Austin, Texas of “Faraway, So Close”. Company founder Brett Ishida has included a wide swath of music from Bach to Richter to Nina Simone to illustrate the choreographed story of an angel in love with a mortal who can’t see, touch or hear him. A metaphor, says Ishida, about troubled relationships.
