The hand, the foot, the floor … the movements of choreographer Cuauhtemoc Peranda are amplified and rearranged by Herndon into an alluring eight-minute piece. One begins to think of modern dance in general, realizing that the typical observer is caught up in sight rather than sound. By removing visuals, Peranda and Herndon demonstrate the power of the aural. This is ballet for the ears, with heavier feet.
