...costume designers Peter Farmer and Mark Stanley deserve much acclaim. Throughout the entire show, the costumes and lighting are coordinated to match the tonality of the dance. In Act I, assonate oranges and greens abound in both the costumes and lighting. In Act II, stark, almost fluorescent lighting illuminates the silver-green costumes so that the dancers seem like materialized ghosts. In both acts, the effect serves to enhance the visual aesthetics of the dance...
Poverty and lack of education were recognized early on as the root problem of these disaffected youths. Nobody understood this better than G. Stanley Hall, an American psychology pioneer who is the book's unlikely hero.

Sewage will be treated in tanks that process waste without harmful chemicals. Household water will be heated by solar panels, which...
...similarities end there: not only was “Identities,” in its first year of production, undeniably smaller than the Liz Claiborne and Morgan Stanley-sponsored “Eleganza” behemoth, but the mission of each show was decidedly different. Where the fledgling “Identities” intended to scrutinize carefully Asian-American culture, the broad, diversity-encouraging mission of “Eleganza” was ultimately obscured in the dazzling runway spectacle...
