8 dancers surged and ebbed through
handsome patterns that suggested fairly
complicated themes with impressive
simplicity. Mr. Danielson moved
succinctly from a portrait of an
enduring community to a witty battle
for center place to the vanquishing of
the group by the unseen force.

Alan Danielson has a background in
music as well as dance, so it’s
not surprising that he used music
astutely as part of dances that were
pointed and shapely. Danielson knows
how to make movement and music comment
incisively on the interactions of
people in groups, or couples, or as
individuals. He can also be deliciously
funny.

 Notable on the program is the
way he can make even abstract movement
communicate clear ideas and emotions.
Also remarkable is the ingenious
structure and interweaving of ideas
present in the entire program. The
beginning creates a tender connection
among the three dancers, introducing
signs of struggle and resistance to
progress. Along the way, we see desires
unfulfilled and struggles against
oneselfand others. And yet hope for the
future remains sprinkled throughout.
Perhaps the message here is that while
salt may create a burning sensation on
our skin, it also strengthens, cleanses
and heals us.
