Scapino


I use this black-and-white photo as wallpaper on my monitor and there must be something compelling about its dynamics because I have not wanted to change it even though it has been up for several months. Scapino is the oldest dance company in the Netherlands and bursting with vitality judging by the available cyberspace evidence. The choreography is at once casual and authoritative in a way we are not used to seeing in San Francisco.
