RE: details Swarthmore College Dance event--

[Andrew Clibanoff <aclibanoff...>]

in general, i am most interested in the historical aspect on the polish
dance...the "exhibitionist" mentality of dance theater (again,
as cultural artifact and due to my past involvement in performance-oriented
"art") becomes less of an urgent matter for me...i will
try to get to the historians panel at 10:30am...and here Mr Luminski in the
morning...but, making a connection with Ms Ingber, seems
most relevant...again, Helen, in what context are you and Ms Ingber
familiar?/Good shabbos/Andy
