The choreographer of White Christmas had lots of fun mocking Martha Graham in one number, with a certain kind of knit dress, certain poses, and Martha look-alikes. It brought back memories of that production of Aida (here in Austin?) in which the priestesses of Ptah writhed around on the floor in knit jersey tubes, completely out of keeping with the rest of the production design. Since the international movie dababase reports that Robert Alton was from Bennington, one can only suppose that he knew about the goings-on at the college and at Jacob's Pillow. Shadow Magic from Vulcan is a visual treat (language Mandarin) and very sweet in spirit. Lacking everything in delicacy, but still fun is The Animal.
