So the culture season begins again. First Billy Bishop at the Citadel and now the start of Brian Webb’s dance season.

His first show is the Ballet Jazz de Montreal (now know as BJM Danse); a company Leslie and I have seen many times since our university days.

20 years ago I had my first taste of contemporary dance pulling curtain at the Haar while I was going to Theatre Production at MacEwan. Brian Webb and one of his female dancers came up to me to ask the time and they were what I considered at the time, completely naked. Tonight’s show open with a gorgeous pas de deux where both dancers were bare from the waist up and it brought my whole dance universe full circle. Only now it’s just beauty for effect, not simply nakedness… mostly… I guess.
