I am so glad I went to this Fall Dance Concert – the dancers, choreographers, and stage design were so creative and I was truly inspired by their work. Two performances really stood out to me – the first one dancers laid their backs on the ground a projector reflected with movements on a screen. You could see the dancers lying on the ground but also what they looked like from a bird’s eye view – it was fascinating. During the middle of the performance, another screen came down and the performers played with light and shadow as some were in front of the screen and some were behind. The second dance, which is photographed very blurry below, was inspired by Degas ballerina paintings. There was a clear tension between beauty and strength displayed through the outfits, the gestures, and the music. I liked that the choreographer referenced another type of visual art through her use of Degas.
