New Slate 2016

Summons of Sound Choreographer | Chelsea Asman

This dance played with the various sounds that can be made with the human body. The piece began with dancers centered around a fire, which gave birth to the overall concept for lights. The lighting began with a warm isolating glow, and eventually grew to be bright, open and energetic.

Crash Choreographer | Koryn Wicks

This piece highlighted thoughts and emotions that arise when life throws a negative experience at us. The lighting had a harsh, industrial quality to it and incorporated tinty greens and yellows.

After Collapse Choreographer | Leslie Bitong

This dance stressed the importance of connections among humans and destruction that occurs when certain bridges get burned. The lighting had a neutral lavender quality at the beginning when a connection was established. When the connection breaks, the lighting shifted to cold, industrial textures. As the piece progressed, red crept onto the stage to emphasize the loss and instability.
