City City (2010) Length: 15 minutes Music: J. S. Bach, "Sonata for Violin and Piano #6 in G major" Lighting: David Finley Costumes: Karen Young Projection Design: Brian Clifford Beasley In City, the animation starts with the realistic image of a city that progressively deconstructs and distorts as the human drama unfolds on stage. Upon the premiere of City, Robert Johnson from The Star Ledger comments on the "nervous movement quality and.abrupt, streetwise habits that bleed over into private moments when [the dancers] find themselves alone in boxes of light, or when they latch onto one another." City was developed while in residence at the Kaatsbaan International Dance Center supported, in part, with a New York State Residency grant from the New York State Council on the Arts, and through a space grant with LaGuardia Performing Arts Center's lab program. Additional support was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Kenneth French Fund for New Works.
