London Dance Company
has style and versatility
By JACQUELINE LEAR
Collegian Staff Writer
If you have ever experienced the
sensations of falling, swinging from tree
limb to limb like Tarzan, or shaking
from a bout with the flu you have the
ability to appreciate dance.
Dance as an art form explores the
world through movement. The success
of the art depends of captivating the
dancer and the non-dancer alike.
The London Contemporary Dance
Theatre certainly achieved this goal last
Saturday night during one of its premier
performances, part of its first United
States tour.
The stylistic breadth of modern dance
was demonstrated by the eighteen
member company of fluid performers
and thepr9gram's innovative
choreography.
The artistic director and principal
choreographer, Robert Cohan (formerly
a principal dancer in Martha Graham's
company) composed an impassioned
work, "Stabat Mater," performed by the
company.
In "Sta bat Mater," Cohan uses an all
female cast to represent the different
aspects of Mary's suffering for her son,
Jesus. Although of a religious nature, the
poignant interaction .of dancers and the
empathetic sharing of Mary's grief
gave the work universal value. .
The first work done by the choreog
rapher Siobhan Davies, "Diary 2,"
explored movement in terms of
space and design. People appear as
humanoid forms, often mechanical hi
movement. Shadowing and special
lighting effects also contributed to the.
other-world atmosphere. Eerie music,;
atonal and arhythmic, compounded this;
feeling.
"Diary 2" employed JocomotoE
movements it was full of leaps and'
runs, sometimes gymnastic in spots. The
one thing that did seem to imply a
natural environment was the dancers!'
shaping of space as if to show they were
experiencing nature for the first time,
Otherwise, even if their facial ex=;
pressions were usually devoid of human
emotion. t,
Comic relief came in the last number; t'
"Troy Game," choreographed by:
Robert North. To the sound of Brazilian
music, the all-male cast emerged from
all corners of the stage, dressed in :
bikini-like shorts and what seemed like
(no it couldn't be .. .) phylacteries
around one arm. These Goliaths all
chanted in rhythm, "Yo! Yo! Yo!"
More than the other two works, "Troy
Games" seemed to be an athletic
exercise integrating every phase of
modern dance from one pole to the other.
Gymnastic in its jumps and leaps,
balletic in its graceful pirouettes and
other movements, the cast moved from
one humorous antic to another,
The versatility of repertoire and ,
perfection of technique of the London
Contemporary Dance Theatre says
much about a group but 10 years old.
