I saw Linda Austin dance yesterday. She's amazing. She only did a few little impromptu introductory dances and participated in an ad hoc group "jam" at the end, but she was clearly the class of the programme. Cydney Wilkes from NY also knocked my argyles off - with a subtle, eerie twitchy-dance accompanied by frog-sounds on the stereo! Her movements struck me, in particular, because it really seemed like she was manipulating very diverse muscle groups all at once (fingertips, toes, abdomen, pelvis, etc.)The enigmatic Jean-Paul Jenkins performed as well, with a dancer (Elizabeth Warren[?]). I hope to perform with Jean-Paul as part of this series at some point.
