This post-modern work by prominent contemporary choreographer Gus Solomons jr was acquired in August, 1991.

|
Vertigo A highly kinetic dance that explores a variety of situations that create an edge for the performers -- either literally or figuratively.

|
Safe Distance A group work by New York City choreographer David Dorfman, one of the hottest cutting-edge choreographers on the New York dance scene today. "...an exploration of the movement of fear and survival." - Jean Reynolds Page, Fort Worth Star-Telegram "... full of intense physicality...Six dancers in blue pants and tops bounded through space like molecules in emptiness..." - Margaret Putnam, The Dallas Morning News |
|
"...moved from vicious angularity to a finale evocative of the variety of human emotions." Wayne Lee Gay Fort Worth Star-Telegram |

Written
On The Body A dance for 5 women which features "neoclassical lyricism." "...an Icarus-like idea that dancers are fallen creatures that once lew - they moved fast and swirled with purpose." - Ann Holmes Houston Chronicle |

No No Nonsense A humorous group work set in three sections. |
|
Vivaldi Trois A lighthearted trio. "...down right silly...ingratiating..." Punch Shaw, Fort Worth Star-Telegram |

|
Once A humorous solo performed to a poem about storytelling. "Company co-artistic director Kerry Kreiman scored the tour de force of the evening with her Once, a work with no music but lots of poetry. With childlike confidence and wide Garlandesque eyes, Kreiman recited snippets of every childhood tale and rhyme imaginable, dramatizing every word with remarkable energy." - Wayne Lee Gay, Fort Worth Star-Telegram "Much more complex in its irony, Kerry Kreiman's Once splices fragments from nursery rhymes and fairy tales (sample: "Thumbalina had a little lamb, its fleece was made of cloth") as she tangentially comments with shrugs, runs, jumps and wide eyed stares at the audience." - Margaret Putnam, Dallas Morning News |
|
Fiesta "...the five dancers in Fiesta appeared in clownish outfits of polka-dots and stripes and started off with runs and loose spins. They played leapfrog, cartwheeled, grabbed each other's wrists to spin madly and flew through space with carefree abandon." Margaret Putnam, Dallas Morning News |
|
Organized Dances A suite of five short dances. |
|
Waitin' For The Bus "...features five stoical briefcaes-toting men, one slightly out-of-step male and eight wild and crazy women who find all kinds of things to do with paper bags." - Wayne Lee Gay Fort Worth Star-Telegram |
|
The Instructional Instructions
Test... "... a delightful duet with spoken accompanimentof poetically perverted instructions..." Wayne Lee Gay, Fort Worth Star-Telegram |
|
Reverie for a Friend This lyrical dance can be performed either as a solo or a duet. |
|
Facets "Brooding passion and intensity" characterize this solo danced in three parts entitled "heart in hand", "denial", and "floating". |
