Houston Ballet shows diversity, talent
By REBECA ZIMMER-
MANN
Editor
From a typical pas de deux to
a humorous number spoofing
ballet, The Houston Ballet dis
played versatility as well as abil
ity in a “Mixed Repertoire” per
formance Tuesday night.
The versatility included
Houston Ballet Artistic Director
Ben Stevenson’s choreographic
talents as well as the dancers’
talents. He choreographed
three of the diverse pieces.
Throughout all four num
bers of the “Mixed Repertoire,”
the dancers made everything
look easy — one of ballet’s ulti
mate goals. But the sweat flying
off a spinning dancer and danc
ers’ gasps after quick combina
tions illustrate the athleticism
needed for ballet dancing.
The company, in a perfor
mance sponsored by the MSC
Opera and Performing Arts So
ciety for a near capacity crowd
in Rudder Auditorium, opened
with the dance “L,” a piece per
formed by a male ensemble.
Flowing arm movements and
classical steps contrasted with
more modern steps of un
pointed toes, pushing and pull
ing arm movements and knees
straight forward — usually con
sidered a sin in classical ballet.
The dance, choreographed
by Stevenson, also provides a
contrast to standard ballet mu
sic — it is set to a percussion
score by Don Lawson. Although
music consisting solely of per
cussion intruments can be irri
tating, this number was not.
The choreography blended well
with the changes from drums to
xylophones, interspersed with
periods of silence.
Li Cunxin, a Chinese dancer
who has been with the Houston
Ballet for about three years,
easily projected his enjoyment
and enthusiasm to the audi
ence. Cunxin had a tendency to
be too flowing and lyric in some
of the more modern moves, but
his cabrioles —jumps with a
beating motion — and other
jumps were excellent. He also
did a series of turns in second
position that were phenomenal.
Try spinning 360 degrees again
and again with one leg ex
tended 90 degrees to the side —
it isn’t easy.
The second number, “Three
Preludes,” opened with Rachel
Jonell Beard and Dennis Poole
on opposite sides of a ballet
practice barre. Stevenson’s use^
of a barre in the first segment’s
choreography was very effec
tive and accentuated the rather
classic theme —yearning for the
partner’s love.
Beard and Poole worked well
together, with Beard partic
ularly projecting the yearning,
seductive quality of the dance.
The third number, “Esme-
relda Pas de Deux,” highlighted
the dramatic presence and ex
tensions of Janie Parker and
William Pizzuto in partner work
and solo sections. The two per
formed well together in this
peppy, enjoyable piece by Ste
venson, set to music by Cesare
Pugni.
Closing the performance on
an entertaining note, the com
pany had the audience chuck
ling in delight with Jiri Kylian’s
“Symphony in D.” Dancers did
everything from facing the
wrong direction to throwing a
ballerina offstage in this hu
morous piece. Alternating fea
tured parts, the dancers really
projected the number’s spirit —
jokes made out of missed dance
steps. It takes precise technique
and incredible acting and mime
talent to successfully pull off
this type of dance. T he Hous
ton Ballet had both.

Well-trained eggs
announce Spring
United Press International
NEW YORK — Thirty dozen
well-trained eggs stood eggs-
actly balanced on end for about
15 minutes at dawn Tuesday to
announce the arrival of Spring.
No kidding.
“It’s a little tricky,” Terry
Savage said. “You have to hold
them carefully. But they really
do stand up on their fat ends
and then about 15 minutes
later, they all slowly roll off
their axes.”
About 100 people gathered
in a city park on the East River
at 5:25 a.m. to witness the bal
ancing act — purportedly the
only time all year you can get an
egg — not to mention 360 of
them — to stand upright.
(continued from page 3)
owners can request that cars
parked in their spaces be towed.
Maddox said that about 100-
175 vehicles are towed each
month, but that last month a
peak number of 250 were
towed.
He said that University Police
officers take an inventory of all
damage to the car before it is
towed. The wrecker service is
liable for damage that occurs
during or after a tow.
Maddox said that while a stu
dent with six or more tickets
cannot be kept from graduat
ing, the University can block the
student’s transcript.
The University charges a $10
fee for parking violations. The
A-l Wrecker Service, 108 San
Jacinto, is employed by the Uni
versity to tow vehicles.
Frank Kalimec, owner of the
service, said the company
charges a $25 fee to students,
faculty and staff whose cars are
towed between 8 a.m. and 5
p.m.
The tow charge at night is
$40 for students, faculty and
staff. For non-students, a $40
fee is charged to tow an illegally
parked vehicle during the day
or night. Any towing charges
are in addition to the $10 uni
versity fee.
If a student arrives at his ve
hicle after the wrecker has ar
rived, but before the vehicle is
towed, he must pay a $10 fee to
reclaim his car during the day
(between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.),
and $20 at night. The $10 and
$20 fees are to recover the
wrecker’s expense of driving to
the scene.
Towed vehicles are im
pounded at the A-l Wrecker
Service lot. The Service is open
24 hours a day, and anyone
towed has five days to reclaim
his vehicle. The service charges
$5 each day for vehicles left in
the lot beyond the time limit.
