Grey Skies Blue, a 2016 dancetheater piece by Minneapolis-based group SHAPESHIFT Dance, does not neatly fit into a box. It’s a series of vignettes with a loose story about a group of friends, who seemed to be in their late teens or early twenties, but hardly a story ballet. It’s mostly dance but with some dialogue. It’s largely breakdance and hip hop choreography but also includes moments of classical partnering.

DC audiences were lucky this week to see Korean contemporary dance company, Laboratory Dance Project (LDP), for a rare U.S. appearance. Founded in 2001, this company of stunning dancers brought a unique blend of intensity and blase cool to their work. While neither piece of choreography made full use of the dancers’ prowess, Thursday’s opening night performance was nonetheless a captivating and welcome distraction. LDP performed two works from 2022 by choreographer Dongkyu Kim, MOB and Ash.
