“On Sunday, April 18th at 3:00 PM, the line up of artists who performed were three New York City artists: Brynne Billingsley, Jody Sperling/Time Lapse Dance, and Kristi Spessard Dance Projects; one Utah artist: Ashley Anderson; one Vancouver group: MOVE: the company.
The concert opened with a solo by Kristi Spessard, who collaborated with Jeanne Trevers on its creation. The title was Tremor, and Kristi began the solo with pulses and contorted gestures to the sound of amplified breathing. This dance began slowly in a spotlight, the dancer appearing strung up like a puppet as if being moved by some outside force.”

“The third piece in the concert, Elbow Tow Blues, started out with a fan blowing. A woman, Brynne Billingsley, set herself up in the blackout wearing an enormous costume. When the lights went up her upper body was hidden, only exposing a giant skirt suspended up by the air produced by the fan, looking like a jellyfish.
In this chapter, the artists Brynne Billingsley and Josh Beamish were reviewed.”

“Dead Dog Song, by Ashley Anderson, was a uniquely compelling duet. It opened with two dancers on stage, quietly present and physically still. One dancer began moving closer to the other dancer on stage. Her movements were like liquid.”
In this chapter, the artists Ashley Anderson and Jody Sperling were reviewed.
