Bodytraffic is making its local debut Feb. 10 and 11, bringing a pair of mixed repertoire productions to town under the Dance Victoria banner.
When: Friday, Feb. 10 and Saturday, Feb. 11, 7:30 p.m.When many who have a working knowledge of Los Angeles think of the city’s defining characteristic, one exhausting element often comes to mind: Traffic.
The running joke inside the company, however, is the distinct lack of driving required by its staff. Bodytraffic is based in the Koreatown neighbourhood of central Los Angeles, and most of the dancers live quite close to the company’s studio. “It feels like we are in the middle of the melting pot that is L.A., and that’s really fun,” she said.
Though the program has its challenging moments — Alejandro Cerrudo’s PACOPEPEPLUTO features three nearly nude dancers — Berkett wanted to strike a winning balance during her inaugural Victoria appearance. For those in the audience not overly familiar with the form, Bodytraffic performances often use popular music as a gateway into contemporary dance routines, Berkett said.
That degree of diversity wasn’t always there at the beginning, Berkett said. The company has grown into its reputation for cross-genre repertoire.
