...More than dance, it is an ingenious melding of motion (often frenetic), shape (usually grotesque), color (always striking), light (constantly changing) and sound (super-stereophonic) into new and fresh dimensions that bedazzle and often trick the eye. In Vaudeville, for example, a trio of dancers in hooped robes froze into off-center angles that looked gravitationally impossible, then somehow contorted their bodies to look like snails, then toadstools.
