For this new work, I served as choreographer. I was inspired heavily by Japanese Butoh dance and Western contemporary dance techniques. The dances in this play create a dream world in which the protagonist, Thomas, fights against his understandings of faith and fear.
The dance is meant to be a dreamworld representation of an ancient tribe of snake-worshipers. The goal of the movement is not to emulate any indigenous culture, but rather the dance is rooted in hip-hop and modern dance, and then morphed into something otherworldly.
