Looking Through the Glass

Company:
C. Eule Dance

chashama's Summer Performance Series and C. Eule Dance present a site-specific piece inspired by the "living sculptures" and glass windows that define the Urban Garden Room at One Bryant Park.  In "Looking Through the Glass," choreographer Caron Eule creates an abstract re-telling of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.  Original music is composed and performed live by violinist Annette Homann, who also plays the role of Alice.  The cast is comprised of five members of C. Eule Dance's company with two guest child performers; the event is intended for audiences of all ages.


About the Artist: 

Choreographer Caron Eule fuses classical modern dance, ballet, gymnastics, and traditional dances from around the globe, often collaborating with local musicians to create new scores for dance.  C. Eule Dance's last three projects have been site-specific and free to the public as part of their mission to make dance accessible to the community.
