Dance
Dance '81, which opened last
week at Robinson Theatre, is, as
a whole, a demonstration of ar
tistic maturity. And each in
dividual piece in the production
stands as an independent artis
tic expression rather than mere
entertainment.
The performance begins with
groupings of dancers stretch
ing, doing simple dance exer
cises and lounging while the
house lights are still on. In this
casual manner Tuesday 5:30 or
Play It Again Pam opens the
evening accompanied by the
dancers’ laughter, low talking
and light piano music.
The choreography (by Susan
Zadoff) moves into frolicsome
patterns when the music by
Saint-Saens begins. The formal
music and balletic line make an
intriguing contrast with the ca
sual, everyday movements.
Nothinganditspossibilities by
Janet Descutner is a very suc
cessful solo portrayal of the
frustration and agony of psy
chological imprisonment. A
bare lightbulb hanging above a
single green straight-back chair
contributes to the spiritual an
guish of the piece.
Dancer Pat Knaus performes
Descutner's demanding piece
with sensitivity and force. Knaus
begins seated on the chair,
looking from side to side as if
searching for something. With
restrained urgency she goes
toward one side of the stage and
reaches out with her hands —
they stop, as if pressed against
an invisible wall. After several
such frustrations she returns to
the chair and sits beside it with
her face on the seat. Then, with
her bare foot she traces the

form of a circle on the floor in
front of her, as if to express the
confinements and restraints of
emptiness in her life.
Roland Chesbro soothes the
audience with her piece, the
peaceful and rhythmic Adrift.
The deep blue and green tones,
the circular and ebbing
movement and the enchanting
music all work together to
create a meditative and pulsat
ing environment. The dancers,
dressed in charcoal-blue and
green leotards and tights, per
form in groups of different sizes.
At one point in the piece they
run in a circular pattern; the
pattering of their feet on the
floor seems to become part of
the music.
In Dazzlement, Descutner
combines her talent for psy
chologically powerful
movement with the brilliance of
colorful costuming and lighting.
The movement seems more
emotionally complex than sim
ple dazzlement, and it is totally
absorbing. It seems to express a
searching and longing spirit.
Zadoff's Partings is
captivating — a successful unity
of sensitive choreography and
performance. The collage tape
that accompanies the piece is at
times distracting, because the
movement itself is so beautiful
and powerful.
The Indian dance Natanam
Adimar, arranged by Indrani,
takes the audience into the
depths of another culture. Per
formed by three dancers,
warmth flows from the dance
and the tinkling bells and
delicate cymbals, creating a
magical feeling.
The program ends with Joan
Lazarus’ Limited Editions II. The
elegant setting of a crystal
chandelier, lavender music
stands and the images of two
tall windows on the backdrop
creates a unified mood. Women
dancers dressed in long white
dresses appear and perform in
duets and trios, creating a
graceful and flowing movement.
The piece is an expression of
purity and elegance of design.
The choreography unfolds an
experience of an almost raptur
ous occasion There is no
dramatic opposition to contrast
the pervading optimism, and the
program concludes on this
happy note.
Dance ’81 continues Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday at 8
p.m. in the Robinson Theatre.
Tickets are $4.50 for the general
public, $2.75 for university
