Pedersen ’06 so that they might resume their labors by a soloist in a fuchsia bowler and iridescent business suit.Julia K. Lindpaintner ’09 and Orlosky delivered the evening’s most avant-garde performance in their self choreographed and enigmatically named duet “Untitled #3.” The duo stomped onstage in outfits seemingly assembled at the local Urban Outfitters...
