excerpts from Dance Review
By Karen Campbell
"Seeds and Secrets," last night's dance concert by Jane Bulger and Kelley Donovan, implier a dark, hidden quality, mysterious and unsettled.
In Donovan's "The Invisible Spoon," deliberate stage whispers and cautionary "shh" set the stage for intriguing, hightly gestural phrases in clever, rhythmic interplay.
Donovan's lovely "Strange Attractor" has a similar gestural vocabulary, but it is integrated into long-lined phrases that slice through the space, punctuated by moments of slow luxuriousness and abrupt stillness.
"Winding Up, Winding Down" was a delightful exercise in cause and effect choreographed by Donovan in collaboration with performers Cheung and Michelle Roja,who play off one another's gestures with great humor.
