Other program information
From the original program: "This concert is possible through the cooperation of the New York State Council on the Arts."
Generation consists of five simultaneous solos, each dancer in her own separate orbit. The dynamic ebbs and wanes as the movement changes tempo and quality; actions build until the dancers are moving so fast or so slow that the integrity of the original phrases disintegrates.
Generation was made for a gymnasium, or any space where the audience could view the dance from multiple angles.
