Ballet rocks captive crowd By Pula Lavlgne Senior Reporter A gossamer white blur leaped across the stage, manipulating her space and filling the air with the magic of motion. Rock music thundered in the background as figures dressed in neon wigs and technicolor spandex thrusted themselves onto each other. A single girl, dressed in shim mering satin with her face painted white, threw herself into the air, onto the floor and into the hearts of her captive audience. Ballet — Joffrey style. The Joffrey Ballet, directed and conceived by Gerald Arpino and set to the music of pop star Prince, performed three dates at the Lied Center this weekend. The ballet consisted of four parts of Prince’s music: “Sometimes it Snows in April,” choreographed by Laura Dean; “Thunder/Purple Rain,” choreographed by Charles Moulton; “Slide,” choreographed by Margo Sappington; and “Will ing and Able,” choreographed by Peter Pucci. Each piece was a paradox of traditional ballet moves with the flashy and powerful choreography of a rock ballet. “Sometimes” flowed with elo quence and tender movements like snowflakes twirling and swirling to the ground. Fluid waves of mo tion enveloped the dancers as they engaged in a type of courtship dance. The movement picked up and became more forceful as the guitar and vocals were drenched with passion and intensity. A male dancer picked up a female dancer and swirled her in the air, slightly dipping her in rhythm. It was abso lutely compelling. The troupe came out in “Chorus Line” fashion. The life and energy were so vivid in the dancers’ move ments and faces it was hard not to be motivated. The dancers were acrobats as they threw themselves into the air in a series of tiger jumps and mid air splits. They made it look so easy, but it was not hard to tell they were professional athletes. Prince shouted out, “Hey look me over/ Tell me if you like what you see,” and the audience screamed with reply. All those au dience members who dropped dance when they were young prob ably wished they would have kept those pointe shoes after seeing how much fun the dancers were having. During the first of three inter missions, a middle-aged man in business suit shrugged and sheep ishly said to his friends, “Well, I kind of liked the music, myself.” The music lent to the shock value of “Thunders,” as a troupe of clownishly dressed dancers gal loped onto the stage pushing and shoving, bumping and grinding. A gold lame she-devil tempted them and fed their intense sexual appe tites. “Purple Rain’s” main dancer, Meg Gurin, gave a performance that words could not begin to de scribe. Her movements were con trolled expressions of freedom and flight. A sincere craving showed in her face as her body leapt, crawled and fought its way through space and time. She started off wearing a white satin “clown” suit and later shed it to reveal a skin-tight gold lame bodysuit that reflected a red beam of light at the end. “Slide” was an elaboration of a daily workout. The light poles were bared and dancers were visible in the wings. The dancers moved ca sually, but with erotic bumps and turns. They seemed, at times, to be moving in freeze-frame photogra phy. The final piece, “Willing and Able,” began with dancing silhou ettes against a backdrop of a panel of white lights. In fact, the colored lights in various disco patterns added movement to the dancers already vivacious art. “Billboards” was an incredible, “traffic stopping” performance. Someone remarked, “It was like a dream, only more intense.” Free Computer Classes! The Computing Resource Center Is offering free microcomputer classes to UNL students.
