The International Body Music Festival at Lincoln Center was awesome, and worth the trip!  The first act were two cousins, Celina Kalluk and Lisa Idlout, and a sight to behold.  They walked towards each other and it seemed very suggestive when they were making grunting noises and holding each-other close, swaying from side to side.  The noises were apparently the sounds of Kattajaq, or Inuit throat singing.  They amazed me with their throats and the similarities between the noises they were imitating.

The next act was okay but could have been better.  The SLAMMIN’ All-BodyBand were magnificent with their impressions of the trumpet and the base.  However, the dancers were ill-prepared and it seemed that one dancer was asking how to dance a certain dance, tut tut tut, during the performance.  Also, their attempt to do dance theater with a slapstick routine (“Tea For Two”) wasn’t great and in my opinion my brother and sister (ages 8 and 6) would be better suited for this.

All in all the performance was good and I really enjoyed it.
