Note From the Concert Director:

The word recycle was dropped into the creative hopper of each choreographer, director, and designer to serve as inspiration for the creation of this concert. The result is what you are about to see: the manifestation of a strange dream about trash coming to life; the many and repeated uses of invasive bamboo; the use of CFL bulbs for lighting; a take on how we recycle personal relationshipsor not; the recharging of motion; and finally, a restaging of a modern dance masterpiece.

Grey Scale (premiere)

Choreography: Amy Lynn Schiffner Music: Jon Magnussen Fantasy for Violin and Synthesizers Scenic Design: Joseph D. Dodd Costume Design: Cheri Vasek Lighting Design: David A. Griffith Dancers: Cher Anabo, Alison Burkhardt, Marisol A. Garcia, Gene Horita, Meghen L. McKinley, Lauren Santos, Keely Urbanich, Chelsea Van Billiard, Reyson Vendiola, Shannon M.

Used as part of the scenic design, the 140 bulbs draw only 1,540 watts total through footlights, trash lanterns, and string lights.
