Melt
Inspired by the current climate change crisis, Melt pays homage to the beauty and wonder of our fragile planet, from its majestic glaciers and icebergs to its gentle streams and rolling ocean waves. Dancing in front of a breathtaking, constantly morphing projected backdrop created by artist Scott Grimm, the dancers become part of the environment as the projected elements fall on costumes specially designed to serve both
as dancewear and projection screen. In addition to its environmental inspiration, Melt explores the idea of “melting” on many other levels, from the tangible to the intangible, the physical to the metaphysical through exacting ensemble dancing set to a classical music score. An opening solo features a unique “light” costume created in collaboration with designer Sandra Hedgepeth using fiber optic fabric.
