Little lights shine their way down the rugged winding path. Foot steps trudge in front and behind staying close together. Dodging thorns and burs left and right. Ouch!—Every time. Quiet laughs fill the silence as we continue on. Our trek ascends us up a treacherous slope and through a cow pasture carpeted with mines and under a barbed wire fence and down a mile long tractor path that feels like an eternity all with our bags and rifles being persuaded down by gravity. Finally‚ we make it to where

Understanding of Dance The Little Ballet was indeed a perfect little thing as danced. This was such an understated and fluent and bravura performance that the dance was hard to imagine anyone dancing the role considering the fact that the role was played by Mikhail Baryshnikov‚ while Elaine Kudo and three other dancers in a sweet-tempered‚ fluid work that makes subtle allusions.
