Bodiography, the ballet company built on rock, confined its hard-edged approach to music between dances last weekend at the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater, East Liberty, where the up-and-coming band Pete Killed Pete satisfied the need for a heavy beat.

Artistic director Maria Caruso was presenting her "Multiplicity" program, with choreography primarily supplied by members of the company, although guest artist Karen Dacko provided a welcome experimental twist in "Dove on My Roof." Costumed simply in voluminous white shirts and neatly tied together with wing-like allusions, "Dove" boasted a spare but intriguing musical landscape by Pittsburgh composer Victor Grauer.

Although this company prides itself on its pointe work and balletic turn out, Danika Pramik-Holdaway's "La Desesperanca" opted for bare feet and parallel positions. Despite a certain naive simplicity about it all, this piece was choreographically charming. Pramik-Holdaway certainly had a sophisticated ear that latched on to the music and translated it into subtle patterns that gave the dancers a real sense of style.

In "Sarria," another barefoot work, Kelsey Yates installed pretty overlapping movements that felt like tidal waves of emotion. But the piece never developed from there and cut off rather abruptly at the end.

Although not all hobos are as perky as Yates, the dancers showed a real knack for loosely casual and light-hearted characterizations in Shannon Hritz's "A Day in the Park."

Lauren Suflita got the nod for a technique-filled finale, "Resolve to Rove," in which the dancers, back in pointe shoes, let loose with fleeting high spirits.
