DANCE

O GLASGOW ARTS CENTRE 12 Washington Street. 221 4526.

The Kosh ‘Telling Tales' Sat 13 Sept. 8pm. £2 (£1). The Kosh bring their one-act dance play direct from the Edinburgh Festival. David Lee is dead. his body in a box and his clothes in a red plastic bag. His daughter. son Joe and Joe‘s girlfriend meet in his flat. Their entrance in black is strained as they hobble with what seem to he sticks. but turnout to be stretched elastic. Emotions are taut and the music, abstract and built on repetition. sounds like crickets in the heat.

As they shed their coats. the three grasp for the old pre-death normality.

All three performers move with skill and conviction as they shudder with pain, cartwheel and contract. Williams. the lead choreographer (contributions came from the whole company) is particularly expressive. probing the most private corners of emotion. Being witness to griefis never a comfortable experience and The Kosh use jerks and breaks of movement to jar. The introduction ofvoice into The Kosh‘s work. adds yet another dimension to Telling Tales. this latest piece. though its effectiveness is perhaps diluted by overuse. (Alice Bain)
