Katherine Fisher, left, and Katie Dorn perform in Part I of “Dance.” Mark Swed, reviewing the performance for The Times, wrote that choreographer Lucinda Childs’ “nine excellent young dancers have a virtuosic balletic quality that her original performers in 1979 could not quite equal.” (Lawrence K.

“Dance,” which besides Philip Glass’ music also features Sol LeWitt’s ghostly film of dancers on a grid, is “geometry in action,” writes The Times’ Mark Swed. (Lawrence K. Ho / Los Angeles Times)
Lucinda Childs’ current troupe, Swed writes, “dances against the images of predecessors who thus seem outside of time and space, occupying a fourth dimension.” (Lawrence K. Ho / Los Angeles Times)
