    The Making of Visible Seams
    (2014) Crawley-Woods, Erin Rose; Widrig, Patrik; Dance; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    Visible Seams is a roving tapestry of movement and sound that flows up staircases, rolls down hallways, perches in windows and poses in the courtyards of the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. Inspired by the films of Busby Berkeley and the expanse and elegance of the Center's common areas and corridors, I partnered architecture with choreography to create a journey of shifting perspectives for the audience. Sound and video installations displayed in the weeks preceding and following the performance foreshadowed and echoed the dance, encouraged a more fully sensual experience of the venue, and returned the ideas borrowed from Berkeley back to a recorded medium. This document is a chronology of the creative process of this work and charts the course from inspiration to collaboration, performance, and reflection. It serves as a record of the ins and outs, ups and downs, why and wherefores of creating a site-specific performance event.
