FLIGHT
Choreography | Takehiro Oeyama
Rehearsal Director | Dominique Angel
Music | “Passages: Meeting Along the Edge” by Philip Glass and Ravi Shankar
This work is inspired by the beauty of nature that again revealed itself to me as I observed a flock of starlings at play in the sky. These birds and their movements far surpassed any chore-ography I had yet seen, as they danced in the heavens I found myself wishing that I too could “take flight.”
