Dartmouth Dance: Sports and Diversions

A short performance before a small mostly student audience in Moore Theater.  The program was introduced by the two guest directors.

The first piece seemed a bit uneven, although there was a great section with 4 spinning couples near the end.

The second piece that gave the name to the program featured a pianist on stage playing the Satie piece, apparently a 100-year anniversary.

The third piece 3 in 5/4 started with dancing that really meshed well with Brubeck’s classic Take Five.  The male solo with the white gloves was also effective.

The final piece fittingly titled The End had the composer and artist sitting at a desk at the back of the stage.  There was a series of grid like multi-coloured projections on the back screens and the dancers that had some great strobe-like effects.
