Farrell Dyde/Gavin Bryars: Dark in the Blaze of Noon (1980)

Some considered this FD work a "breakthrough" in that it did "what everyone is trying to do" i.e. combine a new dance vocabulary with narrative. Here, a family falls apart then together to Bryars famous Jesus Blood, before it became over used. Beverly Shurley, mother, gives a remarkable perf. with FD, father, Lisa Nicks (tomboy), Brenda Marshall and Norma Cullick.
