Of Granite and Glass (Palm Springz) premiered June 15-17, 2018 at Brookfield Place Winter Garden, as part of the 2018 River To River Festival. For this free hour-long event, co-commissioned by LMCC and Arts Brookfield, we transformed Cesar Pelli's grand marble staircase into a dramatic backdrop for a performance evoking failed spring breaks, ecstatic dance rituals, and sacred StairMaster routines.
This work was created on site, in collaboration with performers Doug LeCours, Jordan D. Lloyd, Ambika Raina, Mei Yamanaka, with music by Dave Cerf, and costume design by Karen Boyer.
Our stellar team also included Tara Sheena as Creative Producer, Kirsten Schnittker as Stage Manager, Kate Athol as rehearsal assistant, and Sam Crawford as sound supervisor.
The piece also included an additional surprise cast featuring Kate Athol, Abram Blau, John Gutierrez, Ryan Hudzik, Kayla Juntilla, Beckett Melville, Tyaela Nieves, Oliver Prose, Emery Schaffer, Keith McDermott and Atlas Green.
