Alive-ish

What I liked

I like how trauma was not sensationalized, but simply told with an expression.

I also loved the music incorporated into the storytelling.

What I didn't like

I loved how the dancing showed the joy of a child learning, then anger when Dada didn’t call. I wish the last dance had not been so similar to the angry dance. This is when Isota truly “learned to dance,” so it could have been a soulful expression of sadness and trauma, with the technique and style that she accumulated through years of class.

My overall impression

This show was great! The actress was charming, and the music and dance brought a delightful element to the show.
