Dance + Live Performance | Pittsburgh City Paper: Gia Cacalano says it was the lure of the ocean's smell and distant sound that beckoned her and her 7-year-old daughter to continue a long hike that led them to an as-yet-unseen Atlantic.
The pair's nature adventure this past summer, in Bangor, Maine — coupled with the anticipation of her daughter seeing the ocean for the first time — inspired the dancer-choreographer's new solo work, "The Property." It's the first of three pieces on her latest Gia T. Presents program at Wood Street Galleries on Jan. 26.

I can't tell how I feel about this. Go them for artistic freedom and such, but I would be really interested to see how these pieces turn out. Improvisational dance is awesome but can be very difficult especially when in front of an audience. However, i think the whole meaning behind it all and the inspiration will make it much more meaningful to the mind that it does to the eye. I also applaud the use of media in this to see how it will blend with the dancing and live music. i also applaud the use of live music to see just how one will work with it as it is being played instead of hearing the song before performing.
