...three offerings thus far this season: Pantagleize, a fantastic farce by the Belgian Michel de Ghelderode; Exit the King, Ionesco's stark philosophical play about death; and The Show Off, George Kelly's domestic drama of 1924. A pleasing dramatic palette...
...PAUL TAYLOR, 38, is a tall, block-shouldered Tuned-in from Pittsburgh who spans the gap between classical and modern like a colossus. He had his fling at the far-out, once stood stark still onstage for four minutes (Dance Observer responded by running a review that consisted of four inches of blank space). But today he also has a bit of Mr. B. in his,bonnet. Aureole is a freshly pressed version of a washed-out, frilly "white ballet," in which his dancers interweave flurries of mincing steps with great swooping glides without a seam showing. In Orbs...
...among groups of patients, and this phenomenon can aggravate a terrific problem in mental institutions--getting patients who have recuperated enough to be able to manage on the outside to leave the community where they feel secure and important.

Advanced technology and electronics also play a role in dozens of esoteric devices, ranging from a portable medical ventilator (replacing the old iron lung) to a child...
...Metastaseis, leotard-clad dancers writhe, roll and wrestle around a bare stage against a stark background. But where the Balanchine ballet suggested the physics lab, the permutations of Ceremony smacked of the Kama Sutra in slow motion, as the dancers' bodies were juxtaposed in a complex series of stately tableaux. The maneuvers, however, were less sensual than static-and, accompanied as they were by a chilling, unromantic score, seemed as moving as a set of judo diagrams...
