"The Otherwise Forgotten," senior work of Yina Ng '09 and Simon Thomas-Train '09, broke boundaries between dance, theater and video this weekend at the Kevin P. Mahaney '84 Center for the Arts. The program's three dances and two films appeared disjointed to some in the audience, but a great deal of assonance was discernable among the numbers, if one pricked one's ears. The program depicts death as a process, the meaning of which is unclear or contested. It repeatedly presents bodies as heavy, full of inertia and dependant on each other for support, momentum and the decisive nudge that redirects a phrase of movement.
