H to Oh is a dream-scape of vignettes: a temper tantrum dance splashing in a kiddie pool, a family photo, sibling rivalry, and lots of laundry. Part psychological landscape and part pure movement, H to Oh explores the quandaries, emotions, and sensations infused in private moments of ordinary routines and the fantasies of what we might do. The work explores the simple beauty and emotional complications inherent in life, even in mundane tasks.

Pele Bauch, who choreographed and performed the solo, developed a very interesting and moving work. The story begins with a blue lit backdrop and the sound of summer, water being poured and crickets singing. She begins to move, letting us into her world, where on the outside it’s a sweet, summer evening but inside she’s clearly distraught and agitated. The stage is bare except for Bauch, a watering can and a small pool filled with water. The strength of the expert is its ability to engulf the audience in the atmosphere; you completely forget you’re sitting in a theater. Her movements range from calm to electric and suddenly she runs across stage and jumps into the pool. The dancer continues to move in the water as the piece ends and there is really quite a beauty to her awkward movement, a real sense of battle between calm and chaos that draws you in.
