This one is specially for Grace, our new Antipodean friend. It's a preview by the reliable and eclectic Donald Hutera of a dance festival in Glasgow featuring Australian dance companies and soloists.<P> <A HREF="http://www.the-times.co.uk/news/pages/tim/00/03/02/timartdan01001.html?1376249" TARGET=_blank>http://www.the-times.co.uk/news/pages/tim/00/03/02/timartdan01001.html?1376249</A>

Wait, Stuart... is this dancers performing Australian dance or Australians performing modern dance?

A review of the New Moves Festival in Glasgow bringing the largest contingent of Australian independent dancers ever to reach these shores - 42 in all. Some have been taking part, with Scottish choreographers, in a 'creative laboratory' shared between Adelaide and Glasgow; oth ers have been performing work from their existing repertories. <P>Lucy Guerin and Lisa O'Neill shared a showcase evening, which is reviewed in 'The Observer'. The evening included Guerin's 'Two Lies' which we saw performed by White Oaks here last year and I found difficulty with the stiff, quirky movement vocabulary.<P><BR> <A HREF="http://www.newsunlimited.co.uk/observer/review/story/0,3879,151090,00.html" TARGET=_blank>www.newsunlimited.co.uk/observer/review/story/0,3879,151090,00.html</A> <p>[This message has been edited by Stuart Sweeney (edited 03-26-2000).]
