Other program information

From the original program: "This dance was made in North Andover, MA during the Spring of 1980 and is dedicated to Gerald J. Gross."

No longer a group of purely modern dancers, Tharp's company was comprised of dancers with a pronounced blend of styles and experience. Third Suite, a chamber ballet, marks a shift in the variety of dances created for them.

A long pas de deux for the principal couple would later be excerpted for the television special Confessions Of A Cornermaker.
