SextetThe piece that stole the show was Allison Orr's Sextet, choreographed for two female dancers, two men, and the men's Seeing Eye dogs. While Celia Hughes described the onstage movement, men, dogs, and dancers moved about the stage, with the women sometimes acting as the men's guides, including the occasional canine tic: The description "Allison scratches shoulder" was met with howls of laughter from an appreciative audience. A final image of a lone dog, crossing for an offstage reunion with his man, provided a heartwarming, optimistic conclusion. From States of Grace: Opting for Boldness Allison Orr never fails to invent. Her Sextet employed two trained, female dancers, two middle-aged men and two Labrador retrievers in linear designs to an amusingly descriptive voice-over.
