Wolf-in-Skins (preview)
January 26, 2013
Inspired by ancient themes of the "mythic hero′s journey" found in medieval Welsh literature, Wolf-in-Skins is an evening-length "dance-opera" choreographed and directed by Christopher Williams and composed by Gregory Spears. Driven by choreographed operatic sequences supported by supertitles, the work combines live music, dance, and visual design to re-imagine lost mythology as a staged ritual. Featuring a 10-piece chamber orchestra with period instruments to accompany its large cast of New York and Philadelphia based dancers, singers, and instrumentalists, workshop preview performances of the work′s first act will be presented by Philadelphia Dance Projects and American Opera Projects. Collaborators for the work include costume designers Andrew Jordan, Ciera Wells, and Carol Binion, set designers Tom Lee and Michael Wang, and lighting designer Joe Levasseur.
