“Diversión of Angels”, (con música de Norman Dello Joio, y vestuario de Graham, compuesto en 1948), es descrito en el programa con palabras de la propia autora, como “tres aspectos del amor: la pareja en blanco representa el amor adulto en perfecto balance; la de rojo, amor erótico, y la de amarillo, amor adolescente”. Carrie Ellmore-Tallitsche y David Zurak; Jennifer DePalo y Tadej Brdnik, y Atsuko Tonohata con Lloyd Knight, respectivamente, dieron realce a la pieza con sus magníficas interpretaciones, especialmente Tonohata y Knight, exuberantes y encantadores como verdaderos quinceañeros.

Martha Graham Dance Company shines in Cleveland shows
"Diversion of Angels" (1948) casts three couples in variously colored attire as lovers at different points of maturity. Norman Dello Joio's yearning, buoyant music motivates this delicious game of amorous intrigue, with a corps of five dancers providing ebullient counterpoint.
Graham's angular gestures, upswung arms and tricky balances found the cast in fluid form. Katherine Crockett's sense of line was the perfect match for David Zurak's elegance as the seasoned Couple in White. Blakeley White-McGuire and Tadej Brdnik were the nimble, frisky Couple in Red, while the youthful Couple in Yellow had acrobatic champions in Atsuko Tonohata and Lloyd Knight.

The Martha Graham Dance Company leaves its troubles behind and finally comes to Tucson

"The trick is to hold on to the meaning," Eilber says. "She always did."
Danced by a cast of 11, the work is "all about love. Martha said it was about three women or about one woman at different stages of life." Dancer Katherine Crockett, in white, represents mature, spiritual love; Jennifer DePalo, in red, embodies passion and eroticism; and Atsuko Tonohata, in yellow, is youthful flirtation...

Graham Company Dances in Shadow of Martha's Image
...I also liked the work of the young Atsuko Tonohata, as effervescent as spring in "Diversion of Angels" and the veteran Miki Orihara, who seems to understand what's going on in a dance with every cell in her delicate body...
