Choreographer Graney ends a phase of her career with restaging of "Vivian girls"

The willowy dancers motion abruptly.

Jerking their limbs beneath Crayola-colored schoolgirl dresses, the women emanate a silent strength as muscular legs disappear into short white socks and Mary Jane shoes.

These contrasts magnify the oddness of "the Vivian girls," Pat Graney's take on outsider artist Henry Darger's work. Graney's piece lacks a traditional narrative. Instead, she paints vignettes by blending dance and theater.
