Also on the program is a suite of three solos: "Bridgeboard"choreographed by Cheryl Chaddick for Kate Warren, who returns to the stage following a 2-year absence.

see the dancers sweat, chests heaving to catch enough air before
rejoining the spinning spiel suggestive of dandelion parachutes
blowing round to rites of spring. Successful duets…so enchanted
me I could not take notes or break the spell to force recall. All
I can say is ‘thank you.’” Flash Dance: 30 Dances
