October 3- 9, 2002 artpicks Smooth Moves
This weekend is a good opportunity to get out and see some dance. First, at Temple, the Esther Boyer College of Music and Dance presents Ponto Facto Dance's Quasimodo in the Outback, a multimedia presentation of dance, music and film. Ponto Facto Dance's choreographer, Kim Arrow, uses Australian Aboriginal culture and the Outback as a jumping-off point for a dialogue on the meaning of sanctuary, juxtaposed with Hugo's Quasimodo, a marginalized figure in dire need of some literal and figurative shelter. For Arrow, the Outback represents the true "cathedral" for Quasimodo. The show also includes stilts and aerial work with live music and, of course, some kickin' didgeridoo. Also this weekend is the GLUE Performance Series' season premiere at Kumquat Dance Center in the Community Education Center. It's sure to be a mesh of Kumquat regulars (Bald Mermaids, Group Motion) and some less familiar faces, all doing cutting-edge work. A reception following the show allows the audience to chat with the dancers about their work. Quasimodo in the Outback, Oct. 4-5, 8 p.m., $5-$10, Ponto Facto Dance at Temple’s Conwell Dance Theater, Broad St. and Montgomery Ave., fifth floor, 215-204-1122; GLUE Performance Series, Oct. 5-6, 8 p.m., $8-$10, Kumquat Dance Center, 3500 Lancaster Ave., 215-386-5332.
