Formed in 1970 by a few members of the Cologne Opera Ballet, Tanz Forum Koln fuses modern dance forms with the classical ballet tradition. The company's repertoire has included pieces by such wellknown choreographers as Glen Tetley, Jose Limon, Hans van Manen and Kurt Jooss. Works by Gray Veredon and Jochen Ulrich, director-choreographers of Tanz Forum Koln, dominate the performances at the Loeb this weekend, hopefully not at the expense of variety. Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8:00 p.m. $7.95, $5.95 for student rush. Call...
...mediocre sails through each year on tour. Boston is too close to New York, or its theater space is too limited, to be included on the circuits of companies like the New York City Ballet or American Ballet Theater. The only big names visiting this year are the Jose Limon Company at Brandeis (November 5-7) and Alvin Ailey (February 18-20) and Pilobolus (November 12-14) at the B.U. Celebrity Series.

After the performance there's no train back after past 11, so take a warm blanket if it's cold...
Brandeis and Boston Conservatory were represented by student works, and Rhode Island College by a lengthier piece, "Celebrations," choreographed by former Limon dancer Clay Taliffero. A work by two students from the University of New Hampshire, "Energy Games," took up one theme with which Black and Morgenroth, too, were concerned--using energy as speedily as possible. Rather than structure their piece into a series of discrete events, as did the two established choreographers, Jeanette Rive and Christian Swenson blurred the lines of their choreography. One could never say what was happening at any exact moment. Costumed in gray leotards...
...diverse styles ranging from demi-pointe to barefoot. Not the least of the challenges are the rapid-fire transformations from Balanchine's neoclassical Apollo to the romantic rustic in Bournonville's pas de deux from the Flower Festival in Genzano and, eventually, into the crazed moor of Limon's The Moor's Pavane...
