Moon Dance (video)

Last month, choreographer  James Caton and dancers from the CMU School of Drama performed Moon Dance.  The music came from my  larger piece, Moon Ikon.  The dancers are hypnotic.  Where the music is derived from characteristic relationships on the lunar surface, the physical gestures capture the sensual, mystical, ecstatic relationship between the earth, terrestrial inhabitants,  and the moon.
