The colorful and entertaining program of dances is one of the most unique offerings now on tour in the concert field, Mrs. Marchant said. The entire program is based on the use of the fantasy idea and shows the handiwork of a lively imagination. A typical example and one always popu lar with audiences is the number num-ber called Archer in the Stars in which the dancer, moving in a pool of blue light, gives the picture pic-ture of a mythical creature with gold horns who darts around the night sky and when daybreak is near, puts out the light of the stars by shooting them with his bow and arrow. India Origin The Marga dance has its orig ins in India and uses an inter esting musical accompaniment played and recorded by Hindu musicians, in which the orienta use of quarter tones is effectively effec-tively demonstrated. The title itself comes from an old Sanskri: (Continued on back page.) term and is difficult to translate into English. However, if you were to imagine something thai is the extreme opposite of what we mean when we say 'hillbilly or 'folk', then you would have what the definition of Marga means. The . dance is a combination com-bination of sculptured lines and subtle, small movements. The two short Caribbean sketches called Cubano and Rooster Drag ; are toe-tingling numbers that set the audience to patting its own feet. Capriccio, Capric-cio, Jamaican Scherzo, Kantilan, are some of the intriguing names listed on the program. Navajo, a rhythmic, percussive piece of dancing, is another audience favorite. The program is a closely integrated unit. Mr. Lynn, who dances the entire en-tire solo concert, also composes his own dances, designs his costumes cos-tumes and lighting and plans each small detail of the presentation presen-tation of every number, thereby assuring a production in whici oach element fitsinto the overall over-all picture. Among the composers compos-ers represented in the musica" accompaniments are Addinsell Scott, Ravel, Skilton, Khatchaturian, Khatcha-turian, Milhaud and Lecuona. |
