^Proposition "Copf/Vares
Lock Haven Audience

Imaginative, unique, bright,
fantaatic....these words attempt
to deacribe the performance of the
Propoaition last nighl before a
nearly full house in Price Auditorium. This unique foursome and
their talented pianist successfully
captured the audience'.s attention
throughout the show.
Promptly beginning at 8:15,
the group immediately gave a sample of their talents as they silently portrayed various football
and baseball plays. The Propositiuncrs retained a relaxed atmoaphere as they involved the audience in their program, asking
for such things as the name of a
place, a fairy tale, or an everyday
event.
They exemplified precision
and quick thinking continuously,
taking only minutes to work out
plana for presenting, for example,
a musical comedy consisting of
Bugs Bunny, a shoemaker, and a
basketball! Nothing was beyond
their imagination. A Oand Opera
waa ataged with Martha and George
Waahington quibbling over Martha** want for a personal monument while Lucy badgered Dracula
labout his "drinking" problem.
Their knowledge ot theater and
wit w»a further established after
Mking the audience to name any
four playwrights and a place. They
ioanediately and skillfully preaented life in an insane asylum •

i

tune that depict a beautiful and
dramatic outcome. But if this is
the only standard element of their
repetoire, out of what hat do they
pull the rest of the scngs which
seem s o perfectly correlated between vocals and the piano accompaniment? "The piano player
starts out with a few chords, the
singers impose a melody and we
take it from there." It's described
as a give and take, mutual guiding
by Suzanne, a one-time gymnist
whose fluid movements revealed
her past experiences.
When it comes to improvisation, "the best thing is just doing
it". Some of the actors have had
some acting and voice education,
explained Shelley, and there is
company training in the show's
attitudes and style. However, to
create spontaneous action s o much
like a last-minute party, the players have only a very limited set
of actions cued by particular
lines to go on. From there the
always-different comedy and music comes from working within a
framework of creativity and irtvolvement. The best background
material is human life. The cast
members observe people and thetr
behavior in different situations
and mold their characters around
what they s e e . "We want lo do
characters that everyone in the
audience can point a. and recognize right away."--Iike "Jim Nasium?"

Because of their uniqueness,
ahowmanahip. and extreme talent.
the Proposition presented one of
Ihe best shows ever s e e n by a
Liook Haven audience. The antics
and coaaopnts of this group will
^ be forgotten soon a s people
l a u ^ and 4iscuss their antics,
wondering constantly at their aMmv.

Although audiences often
suggest the same topics performed
before, "The Proposition" al
ways attempts to perform the subject differently, "I got caught
cme night doing the same act on a
subject a l s o suggested the night
before", recalled Shelley, "If we
do the same thing over and over
again you destroy the nature of
oiv work."
Improvisation can
never be rerun-the magic is only
a surprise the first time it is created.

The program opened with
the Allegro Brilliante,
The last
movement from Tschaikovsky's
Piano Concerto No. 1. This was
choreographed by George Balanchine, whom stage manager
Aloysius Petrocelli later addressed
as the best in the world. Balanchin-i is known outside of Boston,
however (maybe even someone
here has heard of him!), and it
was expected that this would be
the best performance on the bill.
It was not, however. Actually,
after a fall by one of the performers during this, the ballet
went uphill, constanily improving throughout the duration of the
program. There was no question,
however, that the choreography
was good. Balanchine had provided perfect coordination wilh the
