Baryshnikov troupe to perform
Group reflects on controversial '60s-style dances
Katie Nelson
Special to the Kansan
When Mikhail Baryshnikov and his modern dance troupe, the White Oak Dance Project, perform Tuesday and Wednesday night at the Lied Center, audience members who expect to see the living legend execute the dramatic turns
and magnificent jumps from his youth may be disappointed.
Those coming to see the seventeen member company present works of choreographers from the 1960s, however, will have a pleasant treat.
The 11-year-old White Oak Dance Project, produced by Barysnikov Productions, will perform PastForward, a collection of modern dance works commissioned by prominent '60s American choreographers. The presentation strives to show how modern dance reflects its complex time of creation and how it has impacted all art forms in the 21st century.
"It was a controversial period of choreography," said Joan Stone, instructor of music and dance. "It is wonderful that the White Oak Dance Project is taking these choreographers so seriously."
The troupe features Barysnikov, five women and one other.man. The performers' backgrounds range from classical ballet to post-modern dance.
In addition to the professional dancers, 45 Lawrence community members also will perform.
"We made an effort to represent the entire community, both the University community and the city
of Lawrence," said Karen Christilles, director of public relations and interim associate executive director of the Lied Center.
A panel, "PastForward Dance from the '60s through Today: Connecting Hudson Church and Mikhail Baryshnikov," also will be offered at 7:30 p.m. Monday at the Lawrence Arts Center, 200 W. Ninth St.
Tickets for the Lied Center performance can be purchased through the Lied Center, the Murphy Hall Box Office or any Ticketmaster outlet.

Those are the sounds of Phalanges, a Christian musical group based in the St. Louis area.
Its sound resonates from instruments the average person might consider junk — wooden staffs, hubcaps, tic-tac boxes and trash cans — which they use to create a series of rhythms and beats that resemble the Broadway show Stomp.
University of Kansas students Mark Poshak and Andrew Koebsh, Kirkwood, Mo., juniors, are two of the group's three members. The

Members of the Phalanges said they believed they had been inspired by God. Not long after they began performing, they were on a mission trip
Band creates unusual sounds, spreads Christian message
By Fay Brody
Poshak and Koebbe have known each other all their lives and met Murphy when they were 10. They began performing together in community theater and founded the Phalanges shortly after attending a matinee performance of Stomp. The trio immersed themselves in the music, using brooms and wooden poles, and prepared their first number for a church talent show in 1996 in Kirkwood, Mo.
and were approached by a youth leader who suggested the group include a Christian message in its music. The three men ran with the idea.
"The switch to a Christian message was a big thing for us," Poshak said. "The Lord just took it from there."
Since then, the Phalanges have spent the past two summers touring the country performing at festivals and for youth groups, camps and churches. The group's big break came last January when it performed for Groupworks Camps in front of 2,000 youth leaders.
