...George Balanchine, José Limón and Martha Graham, and a tribute to Bob Fosse. The concert opener of “Fallen Falling” by Larissa D. Koch ’08 was strong contribution to the show. The European-infused juxtaposition of graceful ballet and angular modern was noteworthy for its dynamic staging that compensated for the repetition inherent in the choreography. The climactic finish of falling bodies (for which the piece is doubtlessly titled) was moving in its focused and technically flawless execution. Of the student choreographed pieces, the vision of “Undivided?...
...stomped onstage in outfits seemingly assembled at the local Urban Outfitters to The White Stripes’ “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground.” Their choreography was perplexing at first: the dancers frequently seemed out of sync, and their gestures were jerky and angular, but it gradually became clear that their movements were stylized interpretations of the unhinged dancing of rock concert revelers. “Sparks,” an ensemble piece choreographed by Ruthie B.

Some of the tracks downplay the innovation of electric/acoustic fusion in favor of emphasizing the blended cultural milieu of the music and Kinshasa. Masanka Sankayi sing one of their songs...
