The 19th Festival of New Dance that just wrapped yesterday evening was packed with good stuff. A real favourite was Deborah Dunn's Four Quartets, inspired by T. S. Eliot's poems. If you have a friend (or a husband) that balks at going to a dance performance because 'they don't get it', this is a good piece to take them to. You don't sit there wondering, what? is she supposed to be marine biologist? are they moths? You know what Four Quartets is about: it's about the poetry.
Dance set against dialogue, as opposed to music or a soundscape, is rather novel, and Dunn is mezmerizing.
