Private Domain (1969) exposes a beach full of muscle builders, sexual athletes and Esther Williams-style chorus lines. Orbs (1966) harks back to the wedding scene in Martha Graham's landmark Appalachian Spring. Here, however, the screwball marriage takes place in "Terrestrial Autumn," where a drunk polkas with a rubber turkey...
