...Groove Tube probably looked better on tape. There, the visual texture of television can be effortlessly duplicated and, in more modest circumstances, the film's misfires and arid portions would not seem so greatly enlarged. A bit of patience is required plus some small tolerance for a sort of home-room scatology, but perseverance is rewarded...
...spouses, Victor and Sybil--two cretin-like characters representing the very best in English shallowness. There is no further development of plot after act one, there is no major physical action beyond a brief lover's fight in the second. The director and the actors must build all the visual and verbal humor upon the nearly barren skeleton of the script and, at each performance, the actors must keenly tune the pace and style to suit the particular audience in order to thwart that "first sinister cough of boredom," as Sir Noel so aptly put it. At the Tufts Arena...
...what's-his-name unseal the reader's memory with a Tinker Toy assortment of mnemonic links and pegs. Assume, they say, that you want to memorize a random list of ten words: airplane, tree, envelope, earring, bucket, thing, basketball, salami, star, nose. Form a series of visual incongruities-a tree riding in an airplane, say, and then another picture of envelopes growing on trees, and another one in which millions of earrings fly out of the envelopes, and so on. The more grotesque and childish the mental picture, the stronger and more indelible the link...
...African visual art issues from cultures permeated by the dance. (Movement, one might say, is to tribal art what print is to Western art.) The mask one admires in the museum once had a dancer's head inside it; the carved figure embodies meanings that are entirely based on gesture and posture. Art Historian Robert Thompson, in showing these works drawn from the superb African collection owned by Katherine White in Los Angeles, demonstrates the canons of African motion across the diversity of regional cultures: Dan and Dogon, Yoruba and Ogoni, Luba and Ashanti, Benin and Ejagham...
...floor on her bottom like a geometric snake, slithering effortlessly upward, feet first and legs spread, over Cragun's waiting shoulders. Tetley amazingly seems to have taught his dancers how to bow their hips into trompe l'oeil convex forms. The two couples slide through a visual glissando of sexual exercises so explicit yet so subtle in execution that the intimacies never shock -except perhaps with the revelation of the extreme possibilities of what a dancer's body can be made...
