Opening Jacob's Pillow's season, Dorrance Dance stays true to the beat
Advertisement The stern yet buoyant Tomoe 'Beasty' Carr rotates her forearms with speedy precision; Fritzlyn Hector circles her arms, offers the audience her palms; Zakhele 'Bboy Swazi' Grabowski's handstand is more stable than funding for the arts. With fast feet, bent knees, and heavy arms, each dancer in the ensemble moves through and around the rhythm of composer Donovan Dorrance's score and John Angeles's live percussion, making visible the syncopated, polyrhythmic interplay between motion and sound. (Angeles and Michelle Dorance share roots in the percussion sensation 'Stomp.') "The Center Will Not Hold" at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival 2025. Christopher Duggan Photography A downcast square of light illuminates Dorrance and Asherie centerstage. They grasp hands but look away; they adjust their black cropped blazers rocking back on one leg; they look toward each other, but find no recognition in the other's eyes. Advertisement Behind them, three more pairs of dancers are revealed in similar dress. The swing of a knee, touch of a foot, and pulsing lift of the torso echoes quickly from one partner to the next with syncopated precision. Some of the best moments are when Angeles performs from inside and among the dancers onstage; he wears a snare drum holstered around his neck, which he beats insistently, twirling his drumsticks for a flourish. His punctilious and insistent rhythms are a worthy match for Dorrance's razor-precise taps that perch on the edge of control. Dorrance Dance has been blending tap with contemporary dance forms for years, but the meat has been percussive movement. This evening's vocabulary is just as much hip-hop as tap. If tap and hip-hop have something in common, it is a shared worship at the altar of 'The Beat.' Dorrance has been hinting at the intertwined histories of tap and hip-hop for years, but this piece, with one dance happening next to the other, reveals through proximity rather than fusion just how tangled the two are. 'The Center Will Not Hold' pairs tap with regional hip-hop styles from the East, West, and Midwest. With so many distinct hip-hop forms on one stage, the dancers are brought into conversation not by the saccharine promise of connection across difference (the dancers often look serious, keeping to themselves), but simply by performing near to each other. The roll of a torso echoes in the fluid locking of an arm; the dexterity of Memphis jookin is made audible by a tap shoe. Historically, tap and hip-hop are both Black American dance forms that originated as street dances — refined and expanded through improvisation and exchange outside the colonialist influence of the 'institution.' Advertisement Jacob's Pillow is nothing if not an institution, and for the festival to open its season with a tribute to the intertwining vernaculars of Black American dance traditions feels important, even if it arrived under the name of a white woman. But Dorrance has long understood this — hence the way she credits the work. The center will not hold, nor should it. THE CENTER WILL NOT HOLD At Jacob's Pillow's Ted Shawn Theatre, Becket, runs through June 29. Tickets start at $65. 413-243-0745; . Sarah Knight can be reached at sarahknightprojects@

EAC upsets Perpetual for third win in a row in Filoil preseason action
Red-hot Emilio Aguinaldo College claimed another scalp after upsetting University of the Perpetual Help System DALTA with a convincing 77-52 win in the 18th Filoil EcoOil Preseason Cup on Monday. The Generals rode on the steady shooting of Brianne Angeles, Joshua Tolentino, and Jon Cudiamat to race to their third straight win and hike their record to 5-1, tying De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde at second spot. Angeles top-scored with 12 points laced with four rebounds and one assist while Tolentino and Cudiamat each chipped in 11 markers as the Generals continued to prove that they're a legit title contender come NCAA Season 101. 'Ever since naman, naniniwala kami na kaya naming maging contender. Ang maganda lang is nagde-deliver na yung mga bata sa sistema namin," EAC head coach Jerson Cabiltes said. EAC, which narrowly missed a Final Four spot last Season 100 due to a 9-9 record, was off to a hot start against the struggling Perpetual with Tolentino and other key vets in Kyle Ochavo and Nicole Quinal leading their first quarter barrage, 24-11. It was all EAC since then with Jethro Bacud even sending them to a 26-point cushion after his layup midway in the fourth period, 70-44. The loss, meanwhile, sent the ALTAs to a 1-4 slate. Only Patrick Sleat could come up with a double-digit production after the former FEU standout posted 10 points. Before this game, EAC had also frustrated defending champion Mapua University, 71-64, before pulling off a tight 75-71 escape victory against Jose Rizal University. Scores: EAC 77 - Angeles 12, Tolentino 11, Cudiamat 11, Ochavo 9, Quinal 8, Villarente 7, Shanoda 6, Dominguez 4, Bacud 3, Castillo 2, Bagay 2, Loristo 0, Oftana 0, Omandac 0.
