Program:

RAIN GIRL
Music by Tim Hagans
Choreography & Poetry by Michele Brangwen
Performed by Robin Gilbert, dancer
Tim Hagans, trumpet

Rain Girl takes its inspiration from the Hemingway post-war short stories: Big Two-Hearted River Part 1 and 2, in the form of an exploration of rejuvenation of the human spirit and the individualistic nature of that process.

DREAM-TRANE
Music & Choreography Created Spontaneously In the Moment By All performers
Concept by Michele Brangwen & Seth Paynter
Performers by: Lindsey McGill & Michele Brangwen, dancers
Tim Hagans, trumpet
Seth Paynter, opera gongs

Dream-Trane is from a suite of dances entitled Sanctuary Moon. Gongs, Burma bells, wood blocks, and snaps combine with trumpet and saxophone to create a mystical environment where dancers and musicians explore the emotions conjured by these ancient sounds on modern ears. In Dream-Trane, two musicians tell each other their dreams without the use of words.
