The Moving Architects’ Brass Figures reveals through dance and
original music the literary voices of past and contemporary Chicago
writers. Artistic Director/Choreographer Erin Carlisle Norton’s Chicago
premiere of “This Sandy Cube,” inspired by a short story of Dave
Eggers, is anchored in the real world while revealing our superior,
animal, and searching natures. A journey of four women begins with
brashness, intuitively caravans through time and space, ending with a
conjoining if the spirits. Original music by Ian Hatcher highlights the
passing and pushing of time through xylophone, melodihorn and guitar.
The acclaimed “1001 Afternoons in Chicago” is inspired by the 1920’s
short stories of Chicago’s journalist Ben Hecht. The dancers playfully
and thoughtfully embellish and embody the characters, images, and
cityscapes, specific to the classic Chicago scene. Original music by
Amos Gillespie, of Accessible Contemporary Music, provides a
contemporary classical music ensemble score that pinpoints the currents
and styling of the time.
Brass Figures features dancers Anna Goldman, Stefanie Karlin, Erin
Carlisle Norton and Alison Riazi,; with costumes by Lisa Stevens,
lighting design by Josh Weckesser, original composition by Amos
Gillespie and Ian Hatcher and choreography by Artistic Director Erin
Carlisle Norton named Chicago Reader Readers' Choice Best Choreographer
2008.
