GLASS (2015) was a collaboration between MaD Arts Group and Columbus Moving Company as part of CMCO’s 2015 season. My friend and choreographer, Amanda Platt Steller created the movement while I composed the music and narrative. With inspiration from Justin Richards, The Glass Princess, I created a touching and dynamic story depicting the fragility of life and the will to do more than simply survive. GLASS is the story of Princess Clio, a young girl who is poisoned and sleeps through decades of civilizations while only experiencing life through dreams in a glass stasis bed. The score written in four movements, includes electronic orchestra, tuned wine glasses, and an instrument made from 29 tuned glass bottles. The unique collaboration brought music and movement together to create a stunning portrayal of youthful innocence, despair, and the will to survive the darkness of eternal rest.
