Originally, Liz Santoro wanted to become a surgeon and studied neuroscience at Harvard University. Then she chose a career as a dancer and choreographer. But apparently some of her earlier passion for medicine has remained: her piece “We Do Our Best” is sharp as a scalpel and aims at getting the audience’s mirror neurons going. Three women in strangely meticulous blouses, skirts and pumps are doing their best indeed. They expose themselves to the gazes of the spectators, giving them the works. Accompanied by cool sounds they strike provocatively strict poses, charge reduced movements with all the more tension and combine them with the latest gossip. The result is anything but harmless.
