Search For Flame & Jupiter

Lindsey Taylor, directed and choreographed this 3 part dance piece, which incorporates her interpretation of Isao Tomita’s synth exploration of Holst’s ‘The Planets’, as well Don Sebesky’s jazzy take on Stravinsky’s ‘Rite of Spring’, as well as György Ligeti’s ‘Requiem – Kyrie’. The piece begins at the dawn of humanity, where neanderthals clumsily navigate love, laughter and language development. Thousand of years later, an isolated colony of alien amazons await the arrival of the king and queen of Jupiter, whose visit portends badly for their tribe. I created the animated scenery and time traveling montage (the 2nd movement of the piece) to suit her vision.
