My overall impression
This is a review of the production of YD that was at the Elephant in 2010:
Playfully directed by Jeremy Aluma, The Yogamerican Dream paints a hilarious and heartwarming picture of the multifarious contemporary yoga practitioner. I laughed out loud, I marveled at Gates’ yogic abilities, and I enjoyed the ride as she shared many perspectives and glided from one unique character to the next.
The director and yogi have continued to develop the piece since I last saw it, and I look forward to seeing what they have done. I felt that, as a new piece, it still needed to decide exactly what audience it is for and what it was trying to assert, if anything. Was very smart, funny and had great pace, so I enjoyed it a lot even with those questions in my mind. I would recommend it!
