...Pakistan buried Benazir Bhutto, many of her supporters there turned to violence to express their grief and anger over her assassination. In Britain, where Bhutto has lived off and on in self-imposed exile for eight years until her final return to Pakistan two months ago, the mourning has been quieter and more solemn. But the emotions are just as deep. Many of Britain's estimated 750,000 Pakistanis had embraced Bhutto as a symbol of hope for freedom and stability back home.

Instead, they expressionlessly examine the corpse as though it were a lab cadaver...

Dakin, who also appeared as the primary dancer of “Heretic” and staged that piece as well, was masterful in her ability to convey messages of grief and anguish to the audience through her facial expressions as well as her movements. The final dance was a premiere of “Caprices,” a set of eight short pieces performed to the music of Niccolo Paganini. Because a different person choreographed almost every work...
