New Moves, Third Eye Centre
The dance season at Third Eye has launched New Dance into 1988 with a positive step. Halt-way through ‘New Moves' Rosemary Butcher, Yolanda
Snaith and the Vic Vlcs are still to come.
As an arttorm then, ‘New Dance' has its masters like Butcher, but because oi its nature will always rely also on ' bringing up new generations
Third Eye has taken this into account and has programmed iour evenings tor young choreographers, some newly graduated irom college, others lorming their own small companies, but all with a commitment to ‘New Dance’.
Last weekend the iirst batch pertorrned short pieces in a mixed programme. Of the tour choreographers taking part, Sarah Whatley was most accomplished. Her very personal movement, earthed but iluid and akin to that oi Greg Nash who she has worked with in the past, built society manners and romance into a touching climax, relieved by laughter. Catherine Tucker by-passed tluency and created a more jagged, anti-dance. Movement seemed based on the playground, boy and girl, tip and teams. The dancers bordered on sell-absorbtlon which at times made this an awkward piece to watch, but as work in progress it has

cram; Russ, took her experiences oi China and turned them into choreography. Smiles and trowns and the attack at the Woman Warrior blended with moments oi pure movement. With confidence, Buss used speech and props in her piece, which, more than an exploration, was a well-formed vehicle
iortesting herskllls.
Helen Greaves made ‘Somethlng to Nothing’ trom the idea at coincidence in movement and music. ‘Chance dance‘ as coined by Merce Cunningham perhaps? In white, dancing to live music, she and partner Dksana Staslw made movement tor lts own sake, ultimately undemandlng but visibly ioyiul to watch. (Alice Baln)
