Fantasy For Strings
Projection artist Scott Grimm collaborates again with RDT to produce a visual feast in Fantasy for Strings which takes its title both from the beautiful violin music to which it is set and the myriad 2-inch thick “strings” which hang throughout the stage space. Grimm creates a forest of light with projections which hit only the dangling ropes
through which the dancers sometimes lyrically, sometimes comically move. The centerpiece of Fantasy is a gravity-defying duet performed on “tissue” which at times wraps, swings or entwines the two dancers, while at other times it is the vehicle for seemingly effortless feats of strength and daring high above the stage.
