Troupe elevates the art of dance
By Regan Brown
The Rites of Spring, according to ancient Slavic legend, concerns a young girl who is selected to dance herself to death as a sacrifice.
Kansan staff writer
The legend was the core of "Le Sacre du Printemps" (subtitled "The Rehearsal") which was the crowning dance in last night's performance by the Paul Taylor Dance Company. The New York City company performed before about 1,000 people in Hoch Auditorium, and will perform again today for area sixth-graders.
Modernism prevailed in the minimalist costumes and lighting, and the innovative choreography was brilliantly calibrated to Igor Stravinsky's "The Rites of Spring." But when dancer Kate Johnson, who portrayed the Girl, performed her frantic and languid song-song sequence, the performance was intenseness and restraint were as evocative as Greek tragedy.
Much of the power of this dance troupe, now in its 33rd season, lies in its ability to blend restraint and powerful emotional content. The three dances in the concert ranged in mood from delicate nuance to lithe athleticism and drew as much from classical ballet motifs as from gymnastics.
"Roses," the evening's first dance, was lyrical and encircling in form, interspersed with moments of cart-wheeling vigor. Even when their movements approached those of gymnastic floor exercises, the 12 dancers were lithe but restrained. Just as the power of a symphony lies in its ability to play well at low as well as at full decibel level, much of the strength of this company lies in its flair for sooty voce expression.
The second dance, "Lost, Found and Lost," was probably the most notorious offering on the program — considering that it was a partial reconstruction of a work that audiences walked out on in 1957. That
piece, Paul Taylor's "7 New Dances," was controversial because it featured everyday emotions and motifs.

Like "7 New Dances," the dance "Lost, Found and Lost," is firmly rooted in the world of the routine. Dancers stand in line, yawn, stretch, wait, then explode in bursts of frenzied activity.
Background music, described in the program as "wallpaper music," explained much of this dance's irony and audience appeal. To the lush strains of "As Time Goes By" and "Red Roses for a Blue Lady," the black-clad dancers performed against a harshly lit white backdrop.
The dancers managed to convey smoothly calibrated and almost robotic unison movements disrupted by random outbursts of fragmented individual release. The accompanying strains of classic elevator music served as a humorous counterpoint to the stark setting.
"Le Sacre du Printemps" was an effective showcase for Taylor's superb choreography and the talents of the entire company. The classical overtones and restrained tragic lines were broken up by the presence of henchmen, bar dancers and private eyes as the tale approached resolution.
One might almost think Stravinsky wrote "the Rites of Spring" to suit Taylor's choreography and not the other way around. The remarkable ability of the two works was enough to justify attending the performance.
From gangsters with silver daggers to ancient Slavic rituals, and from Stravinsky to wallpaper music. Taylor's company showed last night's audience the meaning of diversity and the power to be found in both restraint and expression.
