Dance concert: Precision

--music
A musical double header

By C. 4. SPINGLER
The University Dance Department concert
Friday evening should be distinguished for its
combination of clarity and precision of dance
technique with professional staging and original-
ity of choreography and musicalcomposition. The
few faults of the'show can be attributed to the
lack of facilities and space in the picturesque but
hardly modern Barbour Gym Studio.
Among the most outstanding numbers were
those whichintroduced new dimensions to modern
dance theatre by linking more intimately sound
and movement to create a new form of sympolic
gesture. This was done with particular success in
the dances; "Primitivis," choreographed by Craig
Gruenberg and Lauren Shapiro, "Confrontations"
by Amy Zell and "Comment" by Dana Reitz. The
first of these was accompanied only by vocal
sounds made by the dancers. Although highly
abstract, "Primitivism"' was dramatically powerful.
The voices went Well beyond the normal range
of speaking tones, sometimes sounding animal,
sometimes human, but always compelling because
of their source.
The electronic music by Peter Klausmeyer used
in Confrontations, emanated first from one side
of the stage then the other. It crackled and was a

sea-hell roar, but was happily free of the old
shreiking one often associates with this form of
music. It added definate form and structure to
the fluid movement of the dance.
"Comment," beautifully danced by Dana Reitz
and Craig Gruenberg revealed that electronic
music and abstract movement need not exclude
human warmth from dance theatre. It was as if
the dancing couple were inside a vacuum, buffeted
by mechanical forces, yet retaining a poignant
human element.
Also deserving special choreographic mention
is Carol Richard's "Epistle to Mr. Tambo," a brief
act without words, which suggests that dance is
one of the mediums which can most effectively
express the modern sense of wit and whimsy.
Lisa Goodman, who danced "Songs of Today
No. 1." revealed that she has that much sought
after quality, an acute sense of dramatic style.
This then was a well balanced concert, lacking
the self-indulgence which all too often is present
in attempts at modernity or personal creativity.
The dancers and the productions staff, Mrs. L. W.
Bergmann, Professor Vera Embree, Dr. Esther
Pease, Mr. J. Q. Adamson and Mr. Peter Wilde are
to be congratulated for pointing out that modern
dance is a theatrical experience which excells
the standard Broadway vehicle.

By JOE PEHRSON
Last night's presentation of
contemporary orchestral works
at Hill Aud. illustrated, through
wide variety, the inherent po-
tential of traditional instru-
ments for modern expression.
Some of the variety might be
attributed to the fact that ac-
tually two concerts were given--
one by the School of Music's
University Symphony Orchestra,
and the other by the Contem-
porary Directions Ensemble.
There was immediately some
degree, of audience alienation
produced by the fact that very
little program information on
the nature of the works, or the
composer's original intentions
was given to the listener. It
appears, from talking to one of
the composers, that the last
three works performed-the or-
chestral numbers, were masters
theses.
The first piece, Overlay by
Kurt Carpenter, the only under-
graduate, was rich in spectrum
of sound. The opening measures
were quite mystical, in almost
an oriental setting, complete
with Chinese gong. The sounds
throughout this work were un-
usually separate in pitch-ve ry
high pitches (flute, plucked

harp) were sounded simultan-
eously with low bass and cello
sounds. The result was a re-
markable feeling of presence, of
actual emersion in the work.
KABOP by David Robbins, the
third work performed by the
Ensemble, was very tightly knit.
This beautifully expressed tex-
tural quality was abruptly
broken by a fierce tribal drum
solo (shades of Iron Butterfly).
Still, the unity remained intact
as all themes rushed to a climax.
were broken, and guilt again.
Summer Music by Robert
Boury, the first orchestra work,
was somber-quite gloomy, and
irritatingly strident. This is not
everyone's impression of sum-
mer, but if one thiriks of sun-
stroke and burning pavement,
the musical imaginers is ap-
propriate. Here was musical
heat - independent themes
climbing in pitch, each choosing
a separate tonal resting place

in a college of harsh, painful
sounds.
Theconcluding number. End-
game by David Foley was dif-
ferent. A heavy sound-curtain
was spread, stopping abruptly to
let solo material break through.
Indeterminate percussion, al-
ways completely out of context,
intentionally irritated the audi-
ence, but so did the strange
trumpet ending which suggested
the title.
