Event Review: Tenderina
There are some misleading points in this description of the show. Tenderina is the surreal story of a stripper who becomes a ballerina, not the other way around. And, more than that, it is about her journey to self-revelation. A multi-media collaboration based on a script by poet and playwright Loueva Smith and directed by Cliff Mabry, with original film and music by Robert Thoth and dance choreography by Rebecca French, “Tenderina” is a thought-provoking and humorous show that you can’t bring the kids to! Featuring Allison Gregory Jones as Tenderina, a.k.a. ‘The Girl Matador’; Allen Bauman as the psychedelic angel and voodoo musician, Kirk; Benito Vasquez as Tim, the accuser at a surreal trial where Tenderina is defended by the one-eyed storyteller Lee, played by Loueva Smith. Tenderina pivots into a journey of self-discovery and faces many unresolved questions as she learns what it means to be a dancer.
