These gifts were on full display Friday night at Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall when the company appeared on a Cal Performances program. The sleek, powerful ensemble that includes former Lines Ballet dancer Brett Conway and represents several continents is a lanky and highly articulate troupe as refined as the best ballet dancers and as muscularly sensual as top-flight modern movers. But it was also a flawed evening of work that demonstrates how difficult it is to combine heady abstraction with visceral expression and how easily imagery can edge toward self-consciousness. Sometimes, on delivery, it can already feel dated.

Sajak, 66, who has hosted the show since 1981, originally told Griffin he thought Vanna was too green, too nervous. Griffin didn’t care. He saw something timeless in Vanna, and America would come to see it, too. “Vanna’s genuine,” Sajak said backstage before a taping. “There’s very little she does other than touch letters and point at lovely prizes. But at the end of the show, we spend 20 or 30 seconds chatting about her cat or her shoes or whatever and over 30 years, those things add up. People get the sense that she’s a nice person.”.
