Marinating in the Creative Process 07/24/2010
![]() This performing season has been an incredible experience for everyone involved with DragonFly. It was a season of firsts. The first for our newly established board of trustees, the first fundraiser we produced, and the first full length concert with our new repertoire. We collaborated with each other as well as other fabulous artists and we danced our hearts out in the studio as well as on stage. By the time we completed our last performance of the season on July 1, we were thoroughly proud of ourselves as well as thoroughly exhausted. For the rest of the summer, we will be spending time much needed time in the studio doing what we absolutely love to do...create :o). The Thread project, which we have been working on for almost a year has been a really special experience. Its consisted of several stages including a performance of the original piece by Annapolis High School and a collaboration with the AACC Symphony Orchestra. We are re-working the piece with different music, and digging a bit more into the motifs and themes of the dance. Its truly a luxury to have this time together. We've been under a lot of pressure to complete work for performances and now that we don't have the pressure of a deadline, its amazing what is coming to light in the studio. The piece is shaping itself differently, revealing new and different moments and truly becoming something that we love. Here is a sneak peak of some of the work that's been happening in the studio over the past several weeks. CommentsShannon Sat, 24 Jul 2010 18:26:53 The videos look awesome! Amazing how it is coming together so quickly. Emily P Sat, 24 Jul 2010 18:32:02 I love this piece! It makes me miss dancing and moving in a beautiful fluidly artistic way. I can't wait to see this in performance. LPhebes Tue, 27 Jul 2010 17:44:07 Looovvveee these videos! Can't wait to see more! Anne Court Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:31:06 Soooo cool. The videos looks so great. I totally felt a range of emotions as the music & dance ebbed & flowed. Great work ladies. StephanieK Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:34:11 What beautiful work, I love that I still see you in your choreography! Thank you for sharing this with me. Love you! Megan Morse Jans Wed, 28 Jul 2010 18:32:45 Thank you so much! We're creating this work collaboratively so some of the movement is mine and some of the movement is theirs and I am shaping it. I couldn't be happier! Leave a Reply |
