ARTS The Michigan Daily Wednesday, March 14, 1990 Page 7 Dancers teach modern ways by Joy Das Gupta SINCE Monday, the American Contemporary Dance Festival has been entertaining and educat- ing Ann Arbor, featuring five days of master classes and dance forums and five nights of en- ergy-packed performances. Five artists are delivering their signature choreography to Ann Arbor, offering a sample of the best variety in contemporary modern dance. These artists have traveled the globe, acquiring international acclaim at each destination. So put down this week's TV guide and get set for some eye-catching performers. Monday night Dana Reitz brought her unique artistry to the stage. A graduate of the Univer- sity's dance program, Reitz performed "Circumstantial Evidence," a duet between Reitz and the subtle lighting of Jennifer Tipton. No sets, no music, just the "rhythms inherent in the body and mind," says Reitz. San Francisco-based dancer Leslie Friedman performed Tuesday night, offering more traditional entertainment. She uses music ranging from classical to jazz to live mu- sic performed by School of Music students. Tonight, Robert Small and Peter Sparling will use a lecture/demonstration format for their double bill. Sparling, chair of the University De- partment of Dance and co-organizer of the Festi- val, says, "We are both intense performers, but we use a different style and have different back- grounds." Small, schooled in the tradition of Al- win Nikolai and Murray Lewis, uses his body as a full orchestra, carefully articulating each movement. His choreography carves space into sculpture; at times the movement is humorous, while at others it takes on spiritual and ethereal qualities. Sparling, a former dancer with the Martha Graham Dance Company, will present "A Fearful Symmetry," a historical depiction of Vincent Van Gogh. The piece is accompanied by a live viola sonata and a text read by Department of Theatre and Drama professor Phillip Kerr. In "Lulliloo," Sparling moves to the tango score of Astor Piazzolla, embarking on a journey of highly stylized and sensual movement. Bebe Miller and Company, based in New York City, has the distinction of being the only ensemble to perform at the Festival. Tomorrow night, Miller's choreography will examine the core issues in human relationships. Her art weaves the neo-expressionistic with the new wave to compose a sizzling drama. Finally, on Friday night, all the artists come together to present a colorful menu of modern dance, offering a chance to sample the fare of Re- itz, Friedman, Sparling, Small, and Bebe Miller and Company all at once. The Festival's days are filled with technique classes and choreography workshops taught by the guest artists and dance department faculty. While geared toward dance majors, the classes are open to other interested dance students of inter- mediate or advanced skill. Each afternoon will end with a forum exploring a special issue in dance: today, "Dance and Video"; tomorrow, "Music for Dance"; and Friday, "Dance Writers' Forum." Prior to Friday night's performance, Debra Cash, dance critic for The Boston Globe, will give a free pre-concert presentation titled "American Dance: A Critic's Perspective" at 7 p.m. in Rackham. This is the first and only wave of internation- ally acclaimed modern dance to hit Ann Arbor this school year. Sparling says, "It is an adven- ture in packaging dance." He hopes that students, faculty and community will support this concen- trated dose of modern dance. Unlike ballet, with its rich history of classic works, modern dance doesn't have a fixed repertory. This festival offers a chance to explore the unexpected contours of five of the most spirited and accomplished chore- ographers in modern dance today. THE AMERICAN CONTEMPORARY DANCE- FESTIVAL runs through Friday. Classes, work- shops, and forums are all held in the Dance Building, next to the CCRB; technique classes and choreography workshops are $10 and begin daily at 12:45 p.m.; forums are $5 and begin daily at 4:15 p.m. Student rush tickets for each performance will be available for $5, on sale in the Burton Memorial Bell Tower from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. only on the day of the performance. Per-' formances begin at 8p.m. in the Power Center. See news happen?
