Trey McIntyre Project "Ma Maison" at Kahilu Theatre

“Ma Maison” “For me, and the thousand cheering dance fans who packed Tulane University’s Dixon Hall on Friday, Nov. 21, it seemed that Mardi Gras had come early — not the Bourbon Street party for hooting tourists and girls-gone-wild, but the dark revel that only makes sense when you’ve gone through a hurricane season, buried a few friends and danced in a second line parade with tears in your eyes. Is it clear that I’m also talking about an artistic triumph? I hope so, for that’s exactly what was delivered in “Ma Maison,” the stunning, 30-minute dance collaboration between choreographer Trey McIntyre, local costume designer Jeanne Button, the improvising musicians of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and nine dancers whose artistry let them forge a powerful blend of street styles and ballet athleticism. “ —The Times Picayune
