In France

 

2005
Performance

To compete in the Grand Illusion final performance event, I developed a piece about France. The piece explores the theme of travel an aimed to improve the French-American relations.

In the opening number, I tell the history of France with things in my pocket and my croissant camera (a small camera inside of a croissant.) Next, my dancers join me and together we figure out how to get to France, while exploring French culture. In the last number, I am taller and I sing my song In France.

The piece was first done at Grand Illusion, in Cleveland, OH and was expanded into a longer piece that was performed at the Mattress Factory in PIttsburg, PA. Get to know the French.
