[Although the show ran only one weekend and closed some time ago, we're sharing new contributor Anna Hanks' notes on YTCC's latest production. -Ed.]

The next time you're at a rock show, take a moment to observe the crowd, and you'll notice something interesting: most human interaction takes place on a non-verbal level, manifested in acts of flirting, fighting, and everything in between. Since that kind of voyeurism makes us giddy, we’re glad we caught Yellow Tape Construction Company's But, I Could Do That.

Yellow Tape Artistic Directors Amanda Butterfield and Jonathon Morgan created BICDT’s choreography in collaboration with dancers Brazie Adamez, Lisa del Rosario, Tim Doyle, Doug Rutherford, Holly Wissmann, and Robin Williams. While all the footwork was dandy, we were especially captivated by the vivid facial expressions of the dark-haired Williams.

What was the piece about? Darned if we know. Butterfield’s program note wasn’t cluing us in: “We know that sometimes when you see dance, there’s a story, or a plot, or whatever. You won’t have to worry about that here, which means you can go crazy making up whatever story you want (or no story at all, if you swing that way). Hooray!” Butterfield later told us that the project was partially inspired by action movies and thrillers, including Memento. “But obviously it’s way less dark,” Butterfield said.

Local indie-pop chanteuse Cari Palazzolo sang the live soundtrack for BICDT. Palazzolo wrote eight of the twelve tracks in a month, just for the show. She was joined by Shana Norton on harp and accordion to provide the show’s catchy-dreamy score. Together, the music and movement made the whole a bit like watching a music video. Some of the show's tracks will be recorded for Palazzolo’s solo project Fancy Feast, and you'll be able to catch a few others on recordings with her band Belaire, which shares some members with Voxtrot.

The only negative we found was near the end, when we wanted to tell the sweaty dancers that it would be okay if they jettisoned the half-zipped jackets of their cute warm up suits (costumes by Kendra Loposer). They were obviously already warmed up!

While we had a great time, chances are this show was only a really good fit for people who are into dance, indie pop, and/or vividly imagined voyeurism. But who isn't into at least one of those?
