"A landscape of gleaming white rectangles forms the scenic background and pathways for this work. The dancers, clothed in velvet gray sheaths, create images that change and coalesce to the multi-textured waves of David Lang's score. The dancers enter slowly, on by one, form pairs and trios, then join together in groups. Like an afterimage or a memory of a place or emotion, Behind Resonance strikingly captures and extends powerful and graceful metaphors of movement."
