 |
|
"Damiano creates several superb moments, among them a duet for Su-Feh Lee and Kathleen McDonagh in which the two dancers slowly embrace and release across a brilliant well of light. Each time they deliver a different version of female compassion: now maternal, now sororal, now carnal."
What is female sororal compassion?
What is female carnal compassion?
Can anyone help me, please. |

| Wow, I hadn't even seen "sororal" before, though I should have been able to guess what it meant from the word "sorority." "Sisterly" is a more common word to express the same thing. |
