+__Tom's synopsis of Hollins Dancing__
+The first piece was titled Speaking Body. A Chinese girl wiggled her fingers while the camera picked
+up her motions and played them on a screen behind her. This was pretty poor - I could choreograph
+and present this in 15 minutes. Supposedly these are thesis projects that took one year to construct.
+:In the Folds" involved a large group of dancers doing spasmodic movements. One dancer falls and
+lies prone while the others gather round and "resuscitate" her.  There again and then had two dancers
+in Risky Business outfits. white button down shirt over a dance costume. It started with a well made
+up woman in business skirt and top reciting poetry and doing poses. Then she gets rid of the
+business suit and puts on a white shirt to match the other girl. They do dance together from rock to
+modern.   "Fraud is the New Black" started with a war protest poster then was a hip hop piece. Both
+girls wore red nighties as short dresses to dance. I liked it. Invisible Threads was a large group well
+choreographed that did actual dance and wore colorful costumes. The group dances ensemble then
+in twos, threes and fours. This was good dancing.  The final piece was "Gotta Go", a well done
+number danced in hospital gowns. The girls started carrying butterflies and daisies, enjoying life.
+They next sat in chairs feigning to smoke and cough. In the end they die - I liked the crawling and
+shaking worrying about going to the grave. The choreographer wore a long mans coat and cane and
+challenged the audience if they knew when their time was up.  For the ending she put down the
+flowers, the cane and removed the coat wearing nothing at all and laid down curled up on the stage
+floor.
