Robin Williams and Robert lie Niro star in Awakenings, the story of catatonic
patients who arc revived to find a different world than the one they left.
1'liis is Ik'Niro's movie, and he does a
stellar job This is the same man who
plaved Satan in Angnl //car/ and a comic
bounty hunter in Midnight Run. In this
movie, however, he plays the serious
role of a Ixiy who has a few months to
grow up. live, and go back to sleep
Kolnn Williams does a good job in his
role of Dr Saver, although he goes a hit
overboard making Ins i haracter timid
and shy Hut for someone who was mak
ing "Mr Happy" jokes and grabbing
himself on stage a few years ago. W il

The University Department of Dance opens its annual performance of
Dance '91 tonight in Robinson Theatre. The show will combine ele
ments of jazz, tap and ballet.
Dance '91 kicks off tonight
By Ming Rodrigues
Emerald Reporter
A melange of contemporary
dance takes centerstage tonight in
Dance ‘91. the University's Depart
ment of Dance's annual winter per
formance
Featuring works performed by
faculty, guest artists and dance stu
dents. Dance '91 explores the vari
ous genres of modern dance in
cluding jazz, ballet and tap.
"This is a repertory perfor
mance," said Sherry Barr, an assis
tant professor in the dance depart
ment. "Each dance is distinct in
style and statement."
"Each is an expression of the
personality and experiences of the
individual choreographer." she
said. "That's what dance is all
about. It's not just a series of
moves, but an art of creativity with
character of its own."
Barr herself choreographed a
modern dance piece titled "No
Passing Zone." Based on a person
al experience, it explores the deci
sion-making process we all go
through in our lives
"I was driving on the highway
one day and it struck me as a very
harrowing experience with all the
unexpected turns, twists and peaks
along the road." Harr said.
"Life itself is very much like
that, with its ups and downs, and
often we have to make those impor
tant decisions that mold make or
break us I thought that would
make a good dance theme."
As if choreographing was not
enough. Harr is also one of the 12
dancers in the jazz production ti
tied "Suite Bru.”
fazz tap differs from musical the
ater or show tap in that it stresses
complex rhythms rather than high
stepping kicks and time steps, she
said.
"Some of the music and moves
resonate with the influence of the
dance cultures of the non-western
