Rehearsal Footage

In my previous post, I mentioned that the installation included a video of rehearsal footage. Here is the video, broken into two parts.

It was really hard to cull hours and hours of rehearsal footage down to just a few minutes. When I mentioned that to one of my friends (also a dancer in the cast), she observed that that's essentially what the choreographed dance is--a relatively short product of many hours of rehearsal. In the same way, I've had to choose what to share with people outside of the process, and what is important to represent from those hours of rehearsal. How much is this dance for the dancers--so they can say, "oh, yeah, remember we used to do this section that way!"--and how much is it for the audience? Or even for some of you who haven't seen the "finished" versions of the dances?

Anyway, here's a glimpse of "behind the scenes" in the rehearsal studio.
