...Pray For It," the first of the three dances that make up Winter, exemplifies this fusion in its purest form. Allesandro Vitelli's lighting is as vital to the sequence as Lindsay Crouse's chorcography, or the Charlie Mingus jazz piece she and Wakeen Ray-Riv dance to. As the space their bodies move in changes from blue to orange to hot pink, they become silhouettes of motion in a pulsating frame of sound and color; when the frame constricts to two thin streams of light, they move in a separate frenzy against the darkness. The integration is so smooth...
...devout for despair. And it is at this point that we must speak of Mahler's religion, bearing in mind his statement tat "there is always the danger of an exuberance of words in such infinitely delicate and unrational matters." His religion seems to have issued from a vivifying fusion of the Christian mystery of redemption and German transcendentalism. Mahler must have felt like D.H.

But, as with the traitors' pantomime, Kahn indulges himself too much and keeps the masks on the men right through to the end of the show, including the light-hearted woong scene, thereby diluting...

What he finds is the fusion of caring and a concern for style that leaves young people unimpressed by questions of race or war or money...
...world. He came out of Hibbing, Minn., as a straightforward folk singer in the Woody Guthrie manner. Then he began composing and singing the brooding social-protest lyrics (Masters of War, The Times They Are A-Changin') that epitomized the unrest of a generation. His subsequent fusion of folk and rock transformed the pop scene even more. For last year's John Wesley Harding, Dylan went to Nashville to get an authentic country flavor-thereby kicking off a whole new wave of interest in country music and the Nashville sound. It was not so much a country twang...
