Dance

Six Wives. The figure of Henry VIII dominates what begins as the traditional story of his six wives, until, suddenly, the court disappears, the time period changes, and the roles are reversed. A modern dance work choregraphed by Northeastern professor Judith Roberts for her students. At the Alumni Auditorium, 360 Huntington Ave., February 20-21 at 8:30 p.m. Tickets $1.50 and $1.00.

The Black Dyad. More on the age-old battle in this dramatic analysis of black male/female relationships. Skillfully danced at the First Postion Workshop, 145 South Street, February 22 at 2 p.m. Donation $2.50.

Gutta Dance. Aplay with and about dance assembled and directed by Robert Seder. Presented at the Boston Center for the Arts, a place well-worth discovering for its own sake, 551 Tremont Street, February 20-22 at 8 p.m. Donation $.99.

Different Dances. Another experimental work which, as its title suggests, is wonderfully uncategorizable. Choreographed and performed by Stephen Buck, who teaches at Studio 205 in Boston, and two of his dancers. At the First Congregational Church, 11 Garden Street, February 20-22 at 8:30 p.m. Tickets $3.00.
