Description

One Way exhibits how costumes can shape movement. Stretching their arms to the sides, the dancers showcase the floor-length sleeves of their blue velvet costumes. They walk on relevé from the upstage wall towards the audience in a mock runway show.

 

From the original program:  “This concert is possible through the cooperation of  the New York State Council on the Arts.”
