REVIEW
Local choreographer Meredith Rainey draws inspiration from a Chris Armstrong oil painting named “Summerhead” that has men dancing in long, flowing skirts and women dancing with such force that sweat brashly flies from their faces. In “THEY BREAK,” Rainey wanted to do something big with a lot of movement and he accomplishes that.
