{post-studio/pre-stage} Finding My Progression

I am working on discovering how the story of the piece progresses aside from all of the small stories embedded within the piece. I am taking some time to step back and identify who the dance is as a whole. Now that the bulk of the creation is done, I open my eyes a bit and see what I have done. Here are my musings on the chronological steps of the work:

{post-studio/pre-stage} Promotional Flyer

the evening will include no horses and no circus...but yes to a wonderful group of choreographers!

{post-studio/pre-stage} Costume Rendering

My fantastic costume designer Emily Yula sketched a costume rendering for the piece:

I decided to put my dancers in all white as an homage to the "blank page." I want it to seem as though the stories and my dance are being written onto the dancers. As for shape and design, I discussed each dancers character and personality with my designer and then agreed on some garments that would compliment each unique character. From left to right we have; Katie, Phoebe, Linda, Hana, and Gabby.

Rehearsal Fifteen - the final rehearsal

The dance is complete and is now in the hands of the dancers! How exciting - here is the final run in Building J before heading onto the stage.
