An original score for Chattanooga Ballet.

95 Bars

The Brief

The piece asks how we live in this digital world - how we bring our soft, meaty human bodies into harmony with the sharp corners and rigid lines of modernity. That struggle results in a lot of dissonance and clashing; often it can feel like we are just a soup of human fragments.

The Approach

But with enough creativity, we can build those fragments a context where they make sense. So the piece introduces fragments until the final movements, where the scraps come together into a whole - one last, joyful movement, forged in the struggle.

The Outcome

Choreographed by Brian McSween for Chattanooga Ballet. Currently touring the Southeast.
