"The Glass Engine" develops the simple idea of machine-like circular motion starting simply in the arm and growing to include the entire body. Punctuated with dramatic acrobatic lifts, the dance ends with the human machine running in perfect order and at full tilt. "The Glass Engine' can be en joyed on many levels," according to Ms. Allen. 'One can sit back and observe the scientific unity and mechanical preciseness which Ms. Posin, herself the daughter of a nuclear physicist, brings to her work. Or one can enjoy the technical skill required of the dancers, or the blending of the movement and the music, which was composed by Phillip Glass.'
