By ANDREW LUGG
What happens when you try to
find new ways of moving around?
Judith Dunn danced out some of
the possibilities at the Canterbury
House last evening. Working
closely with the jazz trumpeter,
Bill Dixon, Miss Dunn developed
some simple, but intriguing no-
mtions. I mean notions about
dance.
In. the . first place, we learned
that any srt f movement is o.k.
Unlike many other modern danc-
ters, Miss unn_.does not reject
what has gone before, rather she
exploits it. Steve Paxton works
with everyday comings-and-go-
ings. Merce .Cunningham has
brilliant theatrical ideas. There's
,nothing wrong with these ap-
proaches, of course. Indeed, Ju-
dith Dunn has worked and
learned from both Paxton and
Cunningham. Her dance is, how-
,ever, different.
To be stite, she uses the ordin-
ary - she walks around, thinks
awhile, sits down - but she is
not unawar that she can put her
leg up in the air when the oc-
casion demands. What is so mag-
nificent about the way that she
dances is =that she incorporates
diverse elements in an extraor-
dinary fashion. To do this requires
not only brilliant technique (and
Miss Dunn certainly has this) but
also a refined sensibility.
With these two things, any-
thing is in the cards. Thus I was
not surprised when a series of
quietly effected motions ended
with a grotesque contortion. Now
and then, even the raucous can
be exquisite. It all depends on
how it is done.
If movement means Swan Lake,
it also means what goes on when
a spastic child grabs for a glass.
That is the first point. The sec-
ond point: if you can move your
leg around, you can use your vo-
cal chords, your fingers, your eye-
lashes. I am suggesting that Miss
Dunn's dance is something to be
close to. There is a lot you miss

were able to see all the subtle
movements of the whole body.
The dance seemed very intimate,
very personal. Although this often
spells out indulgence - that is to
say, something not important
enough to reveal - this was not
the case here.
I do not think that these dances
have anything "to say." That
means that I cannot say what
they mean. The dances are not
stories, nor are they dramatic. So
much the better for that.
Nevertheless, I can say that
they are what dance is about.
They are descriptions of words
like "delicate," "r a u c o u s," the musicians were allowed to
