One of the nice things about the Joyce theater is that parking is always available and the local restaurants are good. I am especially fond of Rocking Horse (classy Mexican) and Gascogne (cozy French) but there are lots of other choices available.
Complexions is a contemporary ballet company so moves were sometime classic and sometimes not. Music was from very diverse sources--spirituals, chants, Debussy, the Rolling Stones and others. They were always interesting and sometimes frustrating. Very often dancers were doing moves that did not seem to relate, they didn't form lines or patterns and were separated so that even when three men were doing something and three women were doing something the men's moves did not seem like the women's and you had to shift your vision to know whether they were doing the same movements or not--and often they weren't. The rest of the audience, however, was wildly enthusiastic. I was intrigued but not entirely satisfied.
