Nic Lincoln might be this year’s Joel Smith. It’s been a while since a dude made my lady bits all warm and tingly, but seeing Mr. Lincoln’s near-perfect form in high heels and latex pants bent over on all fours and prancing around like a horse might have been the highlight of my day. Also, Ms. Ober is totally topless and moves around the stage like some sort of deer with a chromosomal abnormality. What were they doing? Oh, right. They were dancing. Yes…FLESH is a five-piece dance show curated(?) by Tamara Ober, the long-time Zenon member and PIPA creator (Fringe ‘09). It’s also a last-minute replacement show and though the pieces don’t really form a cohesive whole, it’s admirable that she’s able to pull this all together on a few weeks’ notice. The show is a veriety of modern dance and movement and while I didn’t love or even understand every piece there’s definitely something for everyone. Ms. Ober’s piece, as I mentioned before, is more abstract and unconventional, but it’s fascinating to watch a human being move in that way. But the most profound moments of the show belonged to Leslie O’Neil. Her bathtub transformation gave me chills and was one of the more raw and beautiful pieces I’ve seen in a while.
