The costume for the "Jabberwock," created by artist Nickel Lauritzen, is a soft sculpture that the dancer manipulates. "With special lighting effects, slide projections, black lights and fog, the stage becomes a world through the looking glass," she said. The BYU production will feature dozens of dancers of all ages in this mystical romp.

Another special feature of the program will be Kathie Deben-ham- 's "Of Gentle Seasons," a lyrical work based on the patterns in a double wedding band quilt "It represents the connections and crossings of our lives, a patchwork of living memories," she said.

"The Critters Jig," set to Irish folk music and environmental sounds, is a dance that begins "after the sun sets," she explained. "Twelve small boys instantly change colors and begin their transformation. Choreographed around a 10-fo- fence, these jump, hurdle, spin and create a wonder illusion of 'critters' dancing in the moonlight," said Her second work, "Telegram," is a dynamic work set to the unpredictable jazz music of Film and the BB's. "Dancers exchange messages in a whimsical and delightfully upbeat manner," she said. "This is a piece that invites the audience to listen and join in the o. exchanges."

PROVO TABERNACLE (with performances by the Dance Club "Stars") ' band is Stretch Armstrong, a group whcih specializes in punk and ska. They have been writing some great original tunes and are rapidly gaining in popularity. They may well be Provo's most energetic band. For those with heavier tastes, the Gladbirds (formerly known as Slinky Fink, who were formerly known as the Ents) offer a bracing combination of funk and metal that will make you dance til your ears bleed. Fuzzgug, a band featuring former members of the Plaid Daddies, plays in a somewhat similar vein, incorporating funk, punk and hard rock. the There are many others female duo Me & Jake, the Glorious Mustard Sheep, 1000 Dreams, some of whom I After the Rain haven't heard play yet. Jonesin', a relatively new band in town," played one of the funkiest sets I've ever heard around here at this year's Foodstock concert at BYU. All of these bands deserve support. It has become far too easy to complain about Provo's "boring" night life, but the fact is that there is quite a bit of quality live music around. Every weekend is a new opportunity to sample what our local bands have to offer, and there's something there for almost everyone. Keep your eyes open for posters around town, and listen to KJQ once in a while for concert updates. There's no excuse for boredom with this much local talent running around.

Not everyone knows that this area has much in the way of live music, but the fact is that on almost any weekend, there are at least two bands playing somewhere around here. The main venues for this area are the old Center Stage building (now called Body Firm Aerobics), the Keck in Orem, and Provo's Pie Pizzeria, which features bands on weekend nights. There are several bands that play these places reguahiy, and more are cropping up all the time. Almost every month during the regular school year, you can count on at least one new band playing at the Keck or the Pie. One of Provo's most popular bands is Swim Herschel Swim, a group made up mostly of BYU students. Swim Herschel Swim plays a combination of ska, reggae and funk, which seems to have hit a nerve with local kids; they come by the hundreds to the band's shows. The band released a cassette last month which has been selling well around town, and they have played opening sets in Salt Lake for such ska bigwigs as Bad Manners and the Special Beat, as well as for tbs Oingo Boingo splinter band Food For Feet DUTTON FAMILY STRINGS American Salute Phillip Rhodes Arrangedby Taylor "Charlie Daniels Band Arranged by G.
