Dance 6 paeonia

Side A is a six movement suite for cello and guitar, composed and performed as a live score for THE LIVES OF CUT FLOWERS. LOCF was premiered May 2011 at the Indy Fringe Theater by the paperStrangers Dance/Theater co, codirected by Tommy Lewey (choreographer) & Jessica Strauss (playwright). The show was unique in that we had a six movement dance work on video to score too, but we were not allowed to collaborate directly with the playwright until we arrived for dress rehearsals...then we slammed it all together! The show centered on a theme of distance and love, with dancers physically realizing visions of the main character’s inner mind. Our movement titles are inspired by Act IV.5 of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. During this scene, mad Ophelia gives flowers to members of Danish royalty and court. Through layered cultural associations by the particular flower given, she exposes each character’s true virtue and deeds. In our suite, every flower approximates character, emotion, and essence of the word and dance to which our music scored.
