The eight female dancers in “Falling Angels,” alternated between blowing kisses and flaying inelegantly, echoing the juxtaposition of surface and interior that underlay the entire work. If the 90s is known as a period where art concerned itself with the body’s extremities, “Black and White” is certainly no exception. Despite the ethnic flair of Steve Reich’s “Drumming, Part...

For the most part, The Spice Garden avoids the usual plague of the journalistic novel of crudely putting exposition and argument in the mouths of its characters.
