Baldwin is not air conditioned. The first act was Tangophilia where a fat woman in high heels danced with a guy. It was awful but the live music was great. Next a group of young girls in tap shoes did a few tap numbers. This doesn't belong at ADF. It was refreshing to see the third number by a guy who has danced in Lion King. Three dancers did sequences of sculptures in a work titled “So Far”. I liked it but Lib thought the lifts were so so. “Purple Duet” featured a pair of sisters in purple dresses doing very simple moves to simple choreography but they did it well. “Spit it Out” was bizarre. We started with a pile of white paper, more paper was thrown in from the wings. The music was the sound of shredding paper. A dancer in white did various contortions before spitting out a chunk of paper to gagging sounds.

Intermission was 15 minutes then part two.

“Flows from Root” had 3 guys in jungle paint and masks and three girls in white pant suits. A seventh person banged two sticks together and also sang live. Really liked the piece although I didn't understand it. “Elemental” featurd three girls in white wedding dresses with white faces dancing to ghostly music with chains clanking. They obviously were spirits who were restless. Very weird. “No, I agree” featured two girls nicely choreographed starting without music having a silent discussion with hand gestures. The music starts, they do very nice movement, then resume the silent conversation at which point they seem to agree and hold hands for their bows. “The Pudding was Served Clumsily Agin” was delightful. Four girls in white pants and white t shirts dance some very nice movement. They spend various times tucking and untucking their tee shirts. The lead dancer has a white hooded shirt and ocassionally has the hood in her mouth. In the end all the girls lose the shirts and also the pants revealing colorful purple, black, light blue or lime green underwear and coordinated bra tops. Pretty interesting. The highlight of the night was “Fate” by Roger Belman. Two dancers in black, evenly matched in body types do some beautiful pairs and synchronized movement then break into some asymnchronous repeats. The girl has some nice lifts where she wraps around the guy as he effortlessly holds her horizontally. In the end they go to opposite sides of the stage, backs towards each other. Well done!!!!!
