Nederlands Dans Theatre
We left at 6 to go to Chapel Hill to find parking on campus. Found the Cobb deck which is free to the public after 5:30. good deal. Noticed many pretty college coeds wearing funky boots in the light rain. It's amazing how young they look. they have the bodies of a grown woman but such baby faces.
The company itself was fantastic. Highly skilled and together, they are a large group of 30 dancers. The first number starts with a puppet reciting “this is mh head, this is my face, this is my neck this is my body” over and over. This finally is mimicked by a solo girl dancer performing very precise crisp moves to the spoken word, “this is my face, etc”. The girl grows through adolescences with some flirting with a boy then serious lovemaking with a boy. In the end the puppet is replaced with a semi nude girl wearing a see through flesh colored leotard and the group of dancers manipulating her just as they did the puppet earlier.
