A little more than a year after his death in November 1 994, one of Erick Hawkins's legacies seems to be a lasting and uncanny imagery of flight.
This surprised me, because Hawkins dancers are most ofTen raptly terrestrial: they dance barefooted and barelegged, with little literal soaring and few leaps or bounds.
The ethereally ritualized aura of almost any Hawkins piece comes also from his confidence in the primacy of apparently simple detail.

Shortly before his death, Hawkins created this as a solo for Baryshnikov, who had it re-staged for the nine members of White Oak.
The music, by Hawkins' wife Lucia, modestly titled "Disparate Stairway Radical Other Quartet" was by turns propulsive, frenetic, and whistle-like; there were screeching violins, a suggestion of swarming bees, and all too brief moments of silence.
The kaleidoscope of movement and freezes included a primal stretching and oozing exit into the wings (prompting one wit to re-title it "Journey of an Amoeba"), graceful floor rolling, jerky gear/ratchet moves, one-legged sway backed poses, and rear facing en rélèvé with arms extended at a 45° angle.
