Twenty Coeds To Interpret Four Dances One of the headline numbers which will be featured on the com ing Odeon program scheduled for Monday, April 23, will be a group of modern dances, arranged and presented by Orchesis, the modern dance honorary. Following in the footsteps of last year's Modern Dance group which was respons ible for the smash hit dance of the 1943 Odeon, “Night on Basin Street,” the newly organized Or chesis has planned a program based on variety and individual movement. Although there has been no at tempt to develop a dance number employing two members such as was illustrated by “Night on Basin Street,” a modernistic, bizarre choreography of the jazz age, this coming Monday’s program will present a group interpretation of national types and customs as il lustrated by the following titles: “The Country Gentlemen,” “Rhum ba,” “the Negro Spiritual,” and “Tango.” Modern Interpretation According to Pearl Peterson, president of the group and head of the modern dance contribution to Odeon, these dances have been de veloped through the choreography of the dancers which means that the routines have been composed part by part as the dancers moved or responded to their individual interpretation of the music. This device of composition, which con centrates primarily upon move ment, not only of the legs and arms but also of the entire trunk, is one of the more modernistic dance techniques, according to Miss Peterson. The initial performance of Or chesis was held Tuesday afternoon, April 17, before a meeting of the sponsors of Phi Beta. This pro gram was presented to afford the group an idea of the dance educa tion offered by the University and included a review of techniques and the four dances. Adviser to the group is Miss Rosamond Wentworth, assistant professor of physical education, who helped originate the group after the termination of the form er modern dance group, Master Dance.
