| | Women Solo; Dance Place Season Opener: Lisa Traiger (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | Sunday's program, choreographed by and for a cadre of strong, beautiful women who continue to dance, teach, perform, produce and advocate for the next generation well into what we Americans ungracefully call middle age, show little diminishment in body, and only growth in spirit and presence on stage. |
 | | Not one of the performers on Sunday's program was on the near side of 40, and some have unselfconsciously stretched the prescribed bounds of dance performance well into their 50s and 60s. |
 | | There's less dance than gesture carefully parceled out to highlight or underline the movement, but in Lerman's sure hands, Body Map finds its deliberate closure, for Lerman, at 55 the same age as the country she has mapped, knows from broken hearts. |
