PHILADANCO! The Philadelphia Dance Company
The six sections of the work are represented by the following concepts: Anticipation, Jubilation, Exhalation, Preparation, Revelation and Improvisation. The themes were derived from a series of interviews based on each individual’s own perspective on spring, summer, autumn and winter. Although the common ecological view of the seasons was a thread connecting the conversations, the interviews revealed contrasting ideas about the four seasons based on the individuals’; experience, reflections and wisdom.
“Seasons” is a visual and musical interpretation of the human experience based on these in-depth interviews, joined together in a collection of captivating short dances.
