Features > Impressions The Dance Enthusiast's Brand of Review/Thoughts on What We See As a choreographer, I went, with great anticipation, to The Joyce to see Trinity Irish Dance Company. I too toil in the domain of percussive dance and, no matter how contemporary a frame I give my work, or how wide-ranging the movement is, my first love is hoofing. I expected Trinity's dancers to lay down choreographic dialogues about tradition, innovation, and genre along with their taps, and I was not wrong.

Since 2004 David Parker has been a contributor to Business in Calgary magazine. We even thought so highly of him and his contributions to the magazine and to our city that we put him on the cover in December 2005. For all of us in the business community we will miss his knowledge connections and understanding of who is doing what in the city. David was connected and trusted and these two things give any writer a distinct advantage in producing an insightful column.
