Color, emotion and brilliant choreography highlighted the Bella Lewitzky Dance Company's performance Saturday night in Hoch Auditorium. Unfortunately, a dismally sparse audience of only about 300 people viewed the performance.
nce company shows KANSAN Review
The casual opening of the first dance, Game Plan, set the mood for the entire performance. The curtain rose to reveal a naked stage, with dancers stretching and going through it, then being embraced on and off stage, adjusting lights and back curtains.
Gradually, the staging became more formal, and dance patterns accompanied by drum beats began to emerge. Using a theme and variations format, the dancers went through a series of five motion patterns in increasingly complex combinations. Occasionally, a member of the troup would call out, to stop the dancers and redirect them in
THE MOOD OF the piece was delightful, fun and very free. The dancers seemed to dance for the joy of dancing, showing off to each other rather than performing for the audience. The improvisatory nature of the dance gave the audience the feeling that although the piece had a firm outline, it never was performed the same way twice.
Technically, the dancers could have been more homogeneous in some of the steps, but these minor imperfections did not detract from the audience's enjoyment of a superb dance.
The second dance on the program was a stunning work titled Pietas. The stark white background highlighted by a few thin poles set at right angles provided an eerie setting. Electronically reproduced heartbeats, motors, bombs and snatches of mournful music underscored the fear and desperation exhibited by the dancers.
PIETA IMAGES, artistic representations of Mary's mourning over Christ's body after the crucifixion, were portrayed several times in an emotional duet. The Pieta images were used in the piece reminiscent images formed in three of Michaelangelo's sculptures.
In the dramatic climax, one dancer appeared to die and was lifted by the other dancers above their heads. A stark, white spotlight made the scene appear desolate.
The program's final work, Kinaesonata,
was a piano sonata in four parts by Ginastera. The costumes, body leaders with bold red, orange and aqua stripes, well lit and decorated, reflect her identity. The solist in the Adagio movement deserves special mention for her fluid interpretation of Lewitky's choreography. During the movement, the music seemed to her motions instead of from a piano.
OVER-ALL, THE program was outstanding. Lewitzky's choreography was intesting and vivid, although it was much more technical in an ensemble work. The group's stage presence was commanding, as were the moods of each of the pieces. As a group, the dancers worked well together; no one felt distrusted from the rest in style or ability.
Biker to sell engines to speed cycles
By JOHN P. THARP
Staff Writer
After racing bicycles for four years, Brian Koeniesdorfer is entering the bike sales race.
Kenigsbad, Overland Park sophomore,
will install a 85-horsepower gasoline
engine on the front fork of any bicycle for $75. This
price is substantially less than what
motorized bicycles, or mopeds, cost at area
bicycle and motorcycle shops.
"The main advantage my motor has over a moped is price," Koenigsdorf said recently. "Plus, since it's attached to an electric bike, they can have still bicycle handling."
The electrical engineering major has been riding and racing bikes since 1973 and now owns three bikes. His roommate owes four. Koenigsdorf does repair work on his bikes and can install the 10-pound motor on a bike in about 30 minutes.
The motors, each covering about 18 cubic centimeters, are all aluminum. They have a small carburateur, muffler, spark plug and a carburetor. At the rear of the rider's right thumb below the hand brake.
KOENIGDORF SAID he bought the "Chicken-Power" engine motors, which actually were designed for use on bicycles, from a Kansas City surplus warehouse. He has not sold one yet, although he began advertising last week.
Local prices for dealer-sold mopeds range from $299 to $429. These models conform to state regulations that moped drivers cannot exceed 1.5 horsepower and cannot travel faster than 25 miles per hour. The motor cannot be larger than 50 cubic centimeters but the means to be propelled by human power. This usually is achieved by nodels.
Dealer-sold mopels get from 100 to 200 miles a gallon. Koenigsdorf figures his mopels at about $75, or about 168 miles on a gallon. Mopeds can be ridden without pedaling, but
Koenigsdorf said his must be pedalled at 10 miles an hour before the motor would assist in locomotion. He said the rider must still continue to pedal while the motor is running.
DEALER REACTION to Koenigsdorf's moped competition is low key. Donne Rygym, owner of the Schwinn Bicycle Shop, 1820 W. 6th St., said he had not seen one of Koenigsdorf's models but was not sure. He asked if his bike was. He questioned the safety of the bikes.
"I don't think we feel much competition, though," she said.
Dee Boek, a salesperson at Gran Sport,
1228 W 7th St., which also sells mopeds, said
the coach's number is 340-659-2222.
Parking rules for the motorized bicycles fall under the same rules and regulations as
"FANTASTIC
"FANTASTIC ANIMATION FESTIVAL"
Since the bicycle is not greatly changed by the addition of the motor, Koenigsdorf said, safe and normal operation could be assured. If a vehicle crashes or accidents whileriding his test model.

"A motorized bike would be classed as a moped, which would require a permit to ride."
mopeds, LA, William Fenstemaker, KU narking services manager, said.
Kenigsdoft does not offer a warranty, he said, but he will repair any root that has been damaged.
"I don't want to stiff anyone," he said. "if anything goes wrong with the engine, I’ll fix it."
"STAR WARS"
"Anything motorized has to be licensed by the state," he said.

a) The number of mailmen in the U.S. answering to the name of Louie.
c) The number of times the word porcupine
can be written on a zucchini.
d) The number of Schitz taste testers.
e) Both (b) and (d)
e) Both (b) and (d).
A: (e) I can think of no combination of 70 and 60 that does not equal 130. (If you can, you now know why you are flunking math.)
I also can't think of anything better than being a Schlitz taste tester. Except, perhaps, owning Kuwait.
And Schlitz maintains a trained panel of over 130 of them. They're qualified and qualified experts who make sure your taste for quality is never disappointed.
Because Schlitz knows the final test for flavor is yours alone.
