RACE DANCE CO'S
HE SAID/SHE SAID
WELL WORTH SEEING

By Nancy Condit


"He Said/She Said," performed by Race Dance Company and the Men of Race, was
an enjoyable dance discussion between between the sexes last weekend at Oklahoma
Contemporary. RACE is Oklahoma's only jazz, hip hop, and contemporary in
Oklahoma.

The nine men used old school, contemporary hip hop and acrobatics to present their 
points of view. Choreographer 
Jeremiah Walton's "Big Poppa," music by Notorious B.I.G/BIG Poppa, stood out with
the men's lithe very funny come hither moves in the dance. The six women performed
with jazz, hip-hop, contemporary and lyrical moves. Choreographer and executive 
director Hui Cha Poos' "Easy" was a dance by four women with great energy, starting
from the stage floor and leaping into the air and across each other adding a touch of acrobatics.

The two short films of dances - "Affliction," concept and choreography by Cristen Whitaker,
and "dis[Ability]," concept and choreography by Gina Marie Foxhoven, added depth
to the program.
