...take the sensuous, corporeal expression away from dance, it becomes stuffy," says Copenhagen-born Flindt, 39, the company's artistic director. Little danger of anyone calling Flindt stuffy. The Lesson, his choreographic debut, was a startlingly effective piece about a psychopathic ballet master. Although Flindt has kept the cherished classics like La Sylphide and Napoli well polished, he has introduced the "modern feet" of Paul Taylor and Murray Louis. Trying to inject more reality in Danish ballet, he decided on a more sexual, dynamic, aggressive approach. One result was Triumph of Death, inspired by Ionesco's play Jeux...
...them are. Jeffrey Harper's Perry is an overly blustery old man, and an overly vapid young one. Jill Clayton is even less believable in her role of the understanding mother and repressed woman. Alison Becker's Marina, the daughter who is sometimes a child, sometimes a sensuous torch-singer, and sometimes a cynical adolescent who rejects moral absolutes, is the best realized of the three, but even she can't quite draw the fine lines between each characterization her part requires. The rest of the cast is worse than the leads--but it would take an entire cast...
...idyl, the Isle of Cythera transferred to an as yet unpopular St.-Tropez, spatted with dots of neo-impressionist light. The painting is drenched in idealized wistfulness, even to the title, taken from Baudelaire's L 'Invitation au voyage: "There, all is order and beauty/Luxury, calm and sensuous pleasure." No effort can restore its lost shock value, and this, in a different way, is true of the Derain as well.

...John Lennon will be the guest lecturer this week in a course called Making It in Rock. The New School Bulletin, a catalogue that might be better titled The Best of Club Med and Esalen East, routinely offers courses like Psycho-karate, Body Language, French in Guadaloupe and the Sensuous Experience of Dining...
Jackson's Hedda is nasty and coarse, a kind of anemic succubus. She is choking on her own rage, not fighting against her desperation. There is no sympathy in her. It is impossible to tell why men are so drawn to her. Hedda must be a woman of sensuous deceits. Jackson's is an arch, nearly campy portrayal, full of snarling asides of self-pity. The performance might work in The Little Foxes; here, it looks like parody...
