According to Jowitt and Sonntag, I shouldn't write that of the six Boston choreographers collaborating as Dance Collective, Beth Soll seems to have the most sensitivity for making dances, but rather I should only describe her work: "Safari," a trio for one woman and a couple, concerns memory, history, travel. Three journeyers slowly traverse the stage, their gestures more theatrical than dance-like. What begins as logic ends as absurdity; like scouts, the trio raise their hands to their brows, then transform the gesture into an odd wiggly wave...
...becoming characters--yet the tempo is so quick that they never quite have time to become anyone. On one level the work parodies dance: Soll dressed in baggy pants and a sweatshirt punches her way through arabesques and pirouettes; one group (construction workers?) breathlessly executes Graham floor exercises; another trio plods in a circle as in many a minimalist dance.

In the next three months, the trio accumulated files on 600 individuals and 250 union-related corporations...
Billy Tennis, the third member of the offensive trio, had a relatively tame day with four points, but remains the team leader with 37 goals and 56 points. Midfielder Kevin McCall scored six goals for the second time this year, repeating his feat from the MIT game...
