Dances for Wiley

Michael Walsh is working with the some of the dancers tonight. Their artistic challenges are to create:

1.   A dance that is culturally relevant to (and/or influenced by) the social community we have chosen for Wiley -- Southern Louisiana/Bayou/French Creole/Melting pot community. Bamboula and Ring Shout examples:

2.   Movement that is more abstract in nature, that works (in some ways) against the lyrical style of the song "Safe and Sound"

3.   Movement that supports and reflects the action of the scene and the relationship between Wiley and Mammy (the "Snoooogooooblooowww" scene, right after he returns from the swamp and she says she has to teach him more conjures now that he's seen the Hairyman once.)
