The Mourning Kiss (Screened at the 1990 International Grand Prix Video Danse, Paris, France) "...a modified tango for two is arrested in time, accentuating physical gestures and their emotive possibilities. The use of an ever-wandering slow-motion technique suspends the desiring note of Susana Tambutti's choreography." Steve Seid, Pacific Film Archive. "The images are cold, sharp, and clear." Jack Anderson, New York Times. Commissioned by The American Dance Festival. Yellow River (Hwang Ho) Screened at the 1992 Dance Screen, Frankfurt, Germany, the piece combines movement, gesture, text, and landscape imagery to tell a woman's story of growing up Chinese in America. Choreographer Li Chiao-Ping recounts the stories, superstitions, and fables told to her as a child by her mother. "From the first delicate shots of rice falling, the piece engaged me." Julia Reichart, juror, Charlotte Film and Video Festival
