Bates Dance Festival.
Emerging choreographer Sara Sweet Rabidoux describes herself as "a filmmaker trapped in a choreographer's body." For her Massachusetts-based company, hoi polloi, she makes flamboyant dances that integrate release technique, gesture from classic modern dance, and the versatilily and speed of classical ballet. At the Bates Dance Festival in Maine on July 17, hoi polloi performs Cupcake, premiered last December in Tokyo. Loosely based on Ravel's opera L'enfant et les Sortileges, the dance centers on a 9-year-old girl and her alter ego alter ego n. a corporation, organization or other entity set up to provide a legal shield for the person actually controlling the operation. Proving that such an organization is a cover or alter ego for the real defendant breaks down that protection, but it can be difficult to prove complete control by an individual. In the case of corporations, proving one is an alter ego is one way of "piercing the corporate veil., with both roles danced by the insightful and often hilarious Rabidoux.
