A Canvas for Evoking a Formal Spirit
A choreographer painted with movement in Continuous Painting, which the Analysis Dance Company presented on Monday night at the Kaye Playhouse. Valia Alexandratou, a Greek dancer, was inspired by the art of Nassos Daphnis, a Greek-born artist who came to New York City in 1930 when he was 16. Making the stage her canvas, she evoked the spirit of his paintings, and slides of some of them were projected during her eveninglong piece. Mr. Daphnis is a geometrical abstractionist who occasionally builds compositions out of only a few vertical or horizontal lines. Other works are more playful and can be filled with chunks of bright colors.. Analysis Dance Co program at Kaye Playhouse reviewed by Jack Anderson; photo (M)

Words and Pictures as Subversive Allies
Blending dance with other arts, Sara Pearson/Patrik Widrig and Company offered an imagistically rich program on Thursday night at St. Marks Church. Unfortunately, the strongest images were verbal and pictorial, rather than choreographic. Mr. Widrigs Alpsegen accused Switzerland, a country that often prides itself on its hospitality and political neutrality, of being hostile to Jews during World War II. The charges were made in taped texts and in a monologue spoken -- not always clearly -- by Mr. Widrig as he moved about, placing Swiss flags atop miniature Alps and stamping the letter J on a map of Switzerland. Mr. Widrigs earnestness was evident in his tense runs and falls and his concluding crucifixion pose. But nothing he did matched the power of the words..

Anderson Silva: Jon Jones needs support, not criticism.
Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva opened up on Jon Jones failed drug test and his future in MMA.
Crossing Into Some New Territory
Le Minh Tam was born in what was then known as South Vietnam. Memories of that war-torn nation surely inspired the evocations of struggle in From Here to There (and Places In Between): Saigon to New York, the program of three dances his New York-based company, Bui Do, presented on Friday night at the Joyce SoHo. At Lands End, a solo for Mr. Le, often appeared to be explicitly autobiographical. Video images of trees and water, created by Diego Britt and Sylvestre Gobart, were projected on the backdrop as Mr. Le ran eagerly, as if attempting to cross into some new territory. But he entangled himself in an enormous coil of ropes while he and Tony Silva recited a text describing people desperately escaping by boat. And when Mr. Le balanced gingerly on a piece of rope, he seemed to be making an arduous journey.. Jack Anderson reviews performance by Le Minh Tam and his Bui Do dance company (M)

With Empathy And Nervous Fidgeting
Risa Jaroslow and Dancers St. Marks Church A deep concern for human problems was always evident in the two new works Risa Jaroslow and Dancers presented on Friday as part of the Danspace Projects City/Dans series. In Table Talk, three tables helped Ms. Jaroslow choreographically show examples of social and anti-social behavior. Jessica Ames, Eun Jung Gonzalez, Rashaun Mitchell, Francisco Rider Da Silva, Ms. Jaroslow and Gus Solomons Jr., a guest artist, gathered at these tables, danced on, around and under them and moved from one table to another in various states of conviviality and quarrelsomeness. The brusquely phrased choreography was intensified by a tense score for percussion, keyboard and voice, composed and performed by Bruce Mack. But once one understood the general idea of the work, its incidents of inclusion and exclusion became predictable..

Giving Friends Support Or Letting Them Drop
Creach/Company, a New York-based all-male group, and Tiempo de Bailar, a troupe of both male and female dancers from Mexico City, shared a program on Wednesday night at the Kitchen. The dancing was always lively. But some of the choreographic ideas remained undeveloped. Portraying friends one moment and rivals the next, the men in Terry Creachs Body Politic pushed one another back and forth, sometimes giving their companions support, sometimes letting them drop, but never with catastrophic results. Many all-male dances in recent years, including previous ones by Mr. Creach, have depicted similar states of cooperation and competition. This one, to a taped score by Andy Russ, was competently constructed, yet never shed any really fresh light on what is becoming a familiar theme..

Moving From One Mystery to Another
Its a snappy phrase: Legal While Moving. But there was nothing frivolous about the hourlong dance of that title that Stefa Zawerucha presented on Wednesday night at Dance Theater Workshop. This was a serious effort. And one of the things that made it spellbinding, and sometimes unsettling, was the fact that it was often impossible to say just what Ms. Zawerucha was being serious about. Choreographic images materialized and dissolved as if obeying laws all their own. The brightness and darkness of the shifting moods were intensified by David Fritzs lighting, which emphasized contrasts between clarity and gloom. Blue Gene Tyrannys score combined electronic music with birdcalls, traffic noises and metronomic tickings. Listening to his swirls of sound while formations of dancers crystallized and dissolved made watching the work akin to spying on someones daydreams..
