Choreographer Margaret Marinoff attempts to lift the colors and movement of an artist's paintbrush onto the stage. Beginning with a piece in which three dancers are enclosed in actual frames, the lyrical performance brings its source material into three dimensions. The strongest piece, "Swell of the Sea," creates a swirling homage to Ran Ortner's realistic paintings of ocean waves. Costumed in flowing water dresses, the dancers employ a large billowing cloth to capture Ortner's dramatic interpretation of the sea. The student dancers bring a quiet grace to the work. (10 p.m. Mon., 8:30 p.m. Thu., 1 p.m. Sun., Barker Center for Dance, 500 21st Av. S., Mpls.)
