Mystery and Magic combines dance with visual illusion, humor, pathos
and non-stop surprises. The hilarious Man of My Dreams literally takes
traditional ballet for a ride on scooters and a “Segway”.
This outlandish dream takes on a surrealistic humor as the wedding party
performs “ballet” while traversing the stage on scooters
and the groom performs on outrageous, nearly impossible duet, with a
member of the wedding party on a “Segway”. Mixed Bag presents
a sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant look at humanity and its overwhelming
production of and infatuation with garbage. Garbage bags are used as
both set and costume pieces that create mythic garbage bag monsters,
models wearing garbage bag haute couture, and an otherworldly landscape
of garbage walls, pillows and birds. In Big Bang, illusion is employed
to create a dark “sea” where creatures float past, in and
around each other while slowly becoming more and more complex. As dawn
emerges, dancers in twos and threes become a wide range of animals,
both known and unknown.
