Catching Up (1993)
Catching Up choreographed by Kelley Donovan, is an atheletic trio which humorously explores human relationships and character traits such as competition, manipulation, and support of another person. Dancers catch and support each other in ways which are athletic, humorous or nuturing. The movement is from every day life, movements used in sports also are a part of this dance. The only music are the sounds the dancers make with their bodies against the floor, each other and their breathing and all are essential rhythmic parts of the dance.
