The Company, founded in 1968 by Bella Lewitzky, 18 members who will perform three numbers, all choreographed by Lewitzky. The numbers are "Pets," "Kimberlea," and "Jamie." The Company's style is dance and motion that characterizes Lewitzky's style of American modern dance.
Lewticky is a California native, born in the Mojave Desert. She has attributed the style of her work to a love for the open territories in which she grew up. She was a $^3$- founder of the Dance Theater in Los Angeles and found $^{4}$ foundance Associates, a school and perform concert group.
The recipient of numerous commissions from arts foundations, Lewitzky is the only modern choreographer based outside New York City who has ever received a major grant for an artistic director's discretionary fund from the Andrew W. Mellon Fondation.
The Lewkizny Company's appearance at KU is sponsored by SUA and is responsible for two dance groups who will be on the campus the fall semester.
Tickets for the Lewitz performance are $4 and are available at the SUA office in the Kansas Union.
THE BILL EVANS Dance Company will be at the University from Nov. 30 to Dec. 5 as part of a National Dance Touring program residency that is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Kansas Arts Commission. As part of its residency, the Evans group will give master classes, as well as a public concert and a children's concert on Dec. 3 and 4.
Dance club glides to world music
Lewitky has been praised for her choreography, which has been described as "economic, yet poetic" by Martin Bernheimer, music critic for the Los Angeles Times. The company's work has focus on a kind of dance called "Jinseonja," a kinetic reaction to the music of Alberto Ginastera.

The group dances at Potter Lake Pavilion, behind Carrina O'Leary, in good weather. Last Friday, Turkish and Israel music filtered through the air and mixed with the sounds of a crowd that had gathered to watch exhibits at fraternities on West Campus Road.
Craig Paul, Lawrence senior, began dancing with the group five years ago.
"THE FIRST time I danced, I got frustreated. When I said, 'and swore I'd never Paulandi.'"
But he did come back and now, when the group performs in costume at events such as Everybody Day or Kansas Folkore Festival, he tries to face the audience, face, she describes the dances for the audience.
Paul said students from all over the country joined the club and brought with them new dances that they taught the others.
The group also learns new dances at folk dance workshops. The first weekend of November, about 10 members will travel to a workshop in Chicago.
The dancers welcome beginners to their Friday night gatherings.
Ars Musica here Sunday

members in making them feel a part of

"Now my best friends are here," she said.
"The people are fun. I danced because it is fun."
As part of the KU Concert Series the Ars Musica, a small orchestra (14 musicians) whose members are specialists on 18th-century instruments, will present a concert at 8 p.m. Sunday in the University Theatre.
From 20 to 45 persons take part in the Friday night dance, which begins at 7:30.
The group has experimented with and collected rare instruments. But it tries not to merely reconstruct an 18th-century performance in every detail. The use of the old instruments in an authentic style of the period is viewed, rather, as necessary if the group is to create a new experience for today's audience.
As soon as the music begins, they join hands and to music of Greece or France or Israel or Yugoslavia, they dance the night away.
If the intonation of the ensemble perks up your "modern" ear at Sunday's concert, remember that the scale in the Baroque period was uneven in tone quality. Not considered a defect, this characteristic was exploited by the composers of the time. The Baroque aesthetic delighted in constant irregularities and variations.
The stringed instruments used are shorter, thicker and set at a straighter angle to the body than their modern counterparts. The fittings inside and out are less massive but the pure-gut strings are thicker than today's instruments.
