http://www.playbill.com/multimedia/video "Traces" -- the circus-influenced work of acrobatic challenges and physical endeavor -- recently announced an open-ended run and Playbill made a trip downtown to the Union Square Theatre to see what all the buzz was about. Cast member Mason Ames and 7 Fingers, the Montreal-based company of performers, challenged Playbill's editor Blake Ross to see if she possessed the physical attributes the show requires. And she, in turn, challenged them to make her dreams of recreating the famous "Dirty Dancing" lift happen. With more than a hint of trepidation from both parties, the challenges were accepted. Disclaimer -- no humans were injured in the making of this video (perhaps an ego was bruised).
