“We hear the labored breath of dancers, and the sometimes irregular and violent impact of dancers’ bodies with the stage, with themselves, and with one another. This somatic presence is not veiled by choreography that would distract us from the work of the dancers.
Instead, the choreography throws into stark relief the actuality of that work.” - Cathy B. Glenn, SIUC

Zaum: Beyond Significance (2005)

Inspired by the Zaum poets, Constructivists, Suprematists and Cubo-Futurists of the early Russian Revolution.  Collaborating Composer, Scenic, Costume and Lighting designers were provided with the theme and asked to create their work.  We then created choreography based in Laban’s Scales and Meyerhold’s Biomechanics to fit the already completed music, lighting, scenic, and costume designs.
