| | DANCE REVIEW: Storks, Tutus, and Children -- Anna Myer and Dancers Present Two World Premieres |
 | | Myer’s language takes some getting used to, but once it is more familiar her works resonate with depth, intelligence, and heartfelt emotion. |
 | | Although the work, one of Myer’s most concretely narrative, was intended to be a statement on birth, death, and loss, it also allows for other convincing interpretations, such as an exploration of the ideas of purity, evil, and passion. |
 | | Gestures like the one in which a child runs to an adult who lifts and swings the child up in her or his arms did little to move the piece beyond the nostalgia and sentimentality of the music that accompanied it, which included the early ’60s pop song 8220;Blue Velvet” and country and western songs. |
