by cats and athletes,” Ms. Quillen continued.
This unique duo, with guest artists Shane O’ Hara and William Seigh, will perform at the Gay Street Theater in Washington on Saturday, Dec. 10, at 8 p.m.
Thompson and Trammell got together in 1983. Since then, they have presented four major duet concerts on the JMU campus and have received three faculty development grants, performing all around in the Washington area.
Other critics have supported Quillen’s rave reviews: Alexandra Tomalonis of The Washington Post praised the “underlying w it and intelligence of both choreography and performance.”
The two women were singled out for more praise after an appearance at Mt. Vernon College. They carried on as slightly daffy nuns in the original “Croaky Baroke,” created a visual interpretation of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins wild, bluesy “Put a Spell on You,” and presented a new work to a James Brown medley.
Post dance critic Pamela Sommers was so pleased with this recent concert that she devoted a whole column to them. “Watch this pair," she advised, “and you’ll understand why they win awards."
Local dance fans will be able to follow Ms. Sommers’ advice and watch the pair at the unusual local concert sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community. Tickets are $3 student, $fi general public in advance from the RAAC office in Washington, or at the ticket outlets: Picture This in Warrenton, Royal Oak in Front Royal, Culpeper Music Center, The Village Cafe in Washington, Burke’s Store in Woodville and Faith Mountain Company in Sperryville.
Tickets can also be bought the night of the concert for $7.
Sharp eyesight
A sparrow hawk’s eyes are perhaps its most dangerous weapon — more lethal even than its razorsharp talons.
According to National Wildlife magazine, oil droplets coat the bird’s eyes, filtering out haze and glare. Each retina is packed with more than one million light collecting cells, eight times more than a human eye. This optical resolution gives it the ability to spot a mouse at ground level from a perch atop the Empire State Building.
