October 10-16, 2002 artpicks Dancers Seeking SusanSuffering from withdrawal after feasting on innovative dance during Fringe? Get thee down to Sansom Street and clamber up three flights of stairs to the Susan Hess Dance Studio this weekend for a quick cure. The indefatigable Ms. Hess, our local doyenne of modern dance experimentation, presents works-in-progress by two important local talents: Brenda Kunda, Bald Mermaids co-founder and co-producer of the GLUE monthly performance series at Kumquat, and Gin MacCallum, Rowan University teacher and Hess' resident choreographer/teacher. Both women are participants in Hess' Choreographers Project, which annually supports new work with grants providing studio space and mentoring by master choreographers. "The world needs to keep everything in balance," Hess observes. "Whatever the trends in dance, there is still a need for the choreographer to work at the art and the craft of it, not just the entertainment of it." Since 1980, Hess has provided an intimate setting for audiences to sit inches away from the performers who are honing their craft in her no-frills city studio. A lot of the people leaning forward to watch carefully will be other dancers. This, thanks to Hess, is our own variation on the New York loft scene. Susan Hess Modern Dance, Oct. 12-13, 8 p.m., $6-$8, 2030 Sansom St., Third Floor, 215-665-9060.
