Show PARK RECORD B SECTION Page B8 Thursday, December 1, 1988 JLnEflELn(BM Street dance warms winter night TTV, by RON GEORG Record staff writer More than a 1,000 writhing and wriggling people turned out on Main Street the very cold night after Thanksgiving. That's because the Dynatones and the Pleazers were playing for free for the Park City ChamberBureau's seasonal street dance. Last year at this time mark-ed mark-ed the first time the ChamberBureau offered a street dance, but it has already become a tradition. The events don't coincide exactly with the equinoxes and solstices; instead in-stead they have been marking other events which fall around those times. This dance was tied to the America's Opening celebration. However, it was more of a celebration celebra-tion of the beginning of the season. The street was crowded with year-round year-round residents and seasonal locals alike, and the dance marked Park City's winter change of character. Folks didn't seem to mind the tem-partures tem-partures though even a number of dogs could be seen shivering at the end of their leashes. Even more impressive, the musicians musi-cians didn't let the cold chill their spirits. Dynatones lead singer Chip "C.C." Miller had a bit of trouble with his high screech due the cold weather, but that was the only noticable effect of the sub-freezing temperature. Sax-man Tony Perez-Banuet tempted fate the most. Remember when the playground bully would tell you to lick a flagpole? Well, imagine trying to blow a sax in that weather. Perez-Banuet did so with verve. It's a Barton family affair Kimball offers two displays for li KONOEOKG Record staff writer The Kimball Art Center is offering a diverse selection of art on display in both galleries through the holiday season. In the upper gallery Dawna Bar-Irn Bar-Irn and her four children are providing pro-viding a host of different styles while, downstairs, the Utah Water-color Water-color Society has assembled quite a collection of watercolor styles. The Barton family, matriarch Dawna, daughters Brooke Morrison, Jill Gerrard, Linn Done, and son Kent Barton, are all talented artists who concentrate on upbeat, colorful themes. This is the third show Barton has had at the Kimball. Her watercolors, mostly still-lifes, are vibrant, impressionistic im-pressionistic pieces which she says are designed to delight the viewer. For this show, however, she has brought her talented family along to nclp fill the upper gallery. The whole family is involved in the art world, and most work with Brooke Morrison's Mor-rison's company, Portfolio Graphics. Morrison's work reflects her Interest In-terest in print-making and graphic design. Her pieces use various printing prin-ting techniques and paper types to create themes from Southwestern to Oriental. Kent Barton is a graphic designer for Portfolio Graphics. However, his art reflects an interest in woodworking. wood-working. Most of his pieces are fanciful fan-ciful hangings created of old dining-room dining-room chairs. Portfolio Graphics' business The Dynatones' show was leaps and bounds better than their performance perfor-mance at last year's street dance. Last year's was good; this year's was hot. The band was ripped through about an hour-long set including in-cluding tunes off their new album including, in-cluding, "Italian Shoes," as well as rockin' soul classics like "Devil in a Blue Dress." The light snow falling on the crowd coupled with the powerful music to send at least a few folks into a snow-dancing snow-dancing frenzy. Kids and adults in front of the stage were dancing with "Animal House" abandon, occasionally occa-sionally erupting into a major snow fight. Each time the crowd started throwing snow the Dynatones got a manager is Linn Done. While she graduated Magna Cum Laude in business, growing up in an artistic family has obviously influenced her development. Done's watercolored-paper watercolored-paper collages melt into abstract, colorful gardens. Jill Gerrard is the most somber of the group. Her still lifes are more reflective, and she tends to use darker colors to bring out her introspective in-trospective themes. ,IMI, .n, wmmm I I.U..U if The juror's choice wall in the ' I i . 1 i St l . f little wet, but the band just played harder as the crowd got rowdier. By the time the Pleazers took the stage, the crowd was amped for more. The Pleazers are maturing as a band; they're getting ready to put out their first album in their rowdy new-wave style. Their set at the street dance showed the same undaunted un-daunted spirit as the Dynatones.

The themes in the lower gallery are simply too numerous to mention; each of the works is about five inches by seven inches or smaller, and the walls are covered with the works. The show in the lower gallery is an interesting study in Utah tastes.

A ' W rrirTi 1 band was even more scantily clad than the Dynatones, so they worked hard for their heat. By the time the dance was over, there were more than a few sweaty, wet people heading off for various other entertainment establishments to enjoy what is basically the start of the real night life in Park City. v V holidays some more abstract interpretations of life in Utah as well. A number of Park City water-colorists, water-colorists, Judy Taylor, Abbie Whitney, and Jossy Sheya, have works hanging in the juror's choice section. The Kimball Art Center will feature these exhibits through Jan. 1. The gallery's hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
