'Wet' - Drip
By Dewayne Bevil
SENTINEL STAFF WRITER

Wet is a performance-art show that's both drippy and trippy.
Dance is at the forefront of the intriguing act, but it's in dim lighting, black lighting, behind screens with psychedelic liquid light projections, with Day-Glo paint smeared on the skin and to the tune of a live, glow-in-the-dark electric guitar player. Rock on! You know when there's black tarp spread over the seats that no tutu will be involved, right?
The colorful, creative show probably will gain a lot of notice for its paint routines, which culminate with a suspended, rapidly spinning dancer inside a large shower-like contraption. I liked the optical illusions/tricks of scale behind the screen, but my favorite part was early on: One dancer in front of a screen, performing a paus de deux with a circle of lights.
Unlike many, many Fringe shows, I didn't leave Wet'thinking it was too long or too padded. It clocks in at 35 minutes. By the time the Slip 'n Slide curtain call arrived, I felt neither restless or ripped off. Good show.
