(duet)
(1996)
In
the duet Dishette, "questions of freedom, control,
sexuality and identity are played out against a musical
pastiche of such Motown hits as Mr. Big Stuff... the
choreographer executes jazz kicks through the slit in
her tight sequined skirt to show off the strong technique
that lines her maverick feminist critique."
-
Dierdre Kelly, The Globe and Mail
The
dancers "oscillated between smiles and talk of
beauty, and hard dancing spiced with grabbing, wrestling,
and kicking. Smart choreography, and a powerful finale."
