How do you write about an artist as ineffable as Ann Carlson?  Her work is determinedly modest:  modest in means, modest in technique, modest in scope.  Sometimes it doesn't seem like it's even dance.  It doesn't incorporate the everyday so much as that it is the everyday.  But it carries you along, and along the way it gives you these little surprises, little insights, little pings of pleasure.  It's not big, but it's kind of wonderful.  It seems characteristic that Carlson choreographed this piece on the company founded by her college dance teachers in Utah, Ririe-Woodbury.
