Show Highlight
The guests described the inspiration for New Dance Horizons. “The piece came out of the music. The music is an electronic score that came out of the St. Louis blues. It feels familiar, it’s something that feels familiar, but is different. Dance theater has created a full sound scape with vintage sounds, weaved it all together and it became something else,” said Pam Tanowitz.
