Some choreographers get their inspiration from dreams. Some get it from music. Others get it by simply improvising in the studio. Some of her unconventionally inspired and accessorized dances will be showcased at Imprints , a concert Kinetics will present Oct. 28 at Columbia's Jim Rouse Theatre. It's nice that each piece isn't looking like the others.
Props make it stick out.
Props play key roles in some of Imprints ' eight performance pieces. Kaufhold says the fascination with props, which has characterized many of her works over the past two years, may be peaking. Three of the pieces in Imprints were used in a July concert Kinetics gave at Washington's Dance Place. While Kaufhold says she didn't want to literally repeat the program for the upcoming show in Columbia, she lacked the time to put an entirely new show together. So she invited two Baltimore-area dance studios, the Diamond Dance Co. and Peoples and Clark Dance Co., to present works as well.
