Portable Dance Troupe demonstrates artistic expression through dance By Jennifer Brodie The Daily Collegian Fourteen female dancers, as well as dance choreographers, have been hard at work since last October to bring this Portable Dance Troupe production to Fresno State. 'The Portable Dance Troupe has a female-only cast simply because no males auditioned," said artistic director and dancer Ruth Griffin. The dancers are: Kara Bithell, Heidi Boiling, Angela Butler. Jarrell Chua, Annette Elvester, Ruth •Griffin, Cristal Hensley, Heather Karsevar, Kelly Land. Beth Pierek McEnery, Taisha Paggett, Amie Peterson, Carrie Smith and Erin Wintermeyer. These women per¬ form six dances. The first dance, titled "Figura¬ tively Speaking", involves a duet and a quartet. This number is quirky and clever, and plays with lan¬ guage, such as expressions like,"blind as a bat." "Attic", the second dance number, involves just two danc¬ ers. This is a very theatrical dance, one that is full of feeling.

The two professors first came to the United States in early 1980. as visiting scholars at Kent State Uni¬ versity in'Ohio. After Richard Nixon's historic visit to China in the early 1970s, scholars were sent to the United States to study, mainly in science and technology.
