Item Invoking Justice(2016) Stedge, Curtis; Phillips, Miriam; Dance; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)Invoking Justice, a performative work of dance-theater, is a social commentary, both on the failure of the American justice system to balance the scales, and on our individual and collective failings to balance our communities, and ourselves, while recognizing our inherent unity and interconnectedness. The show was performed on March 10th and 11th, 2016 in the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, at the University of Maryland, College Park. This document is a survey of the creative process through which this project was realized and serves as a record of the many obstacles and successes that one might encounter in directing a work of dance-theater.Item Geminuspace(2010) Skeen, Betty Caroline; Bradley, Karen; Dance; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)Geminuspace, is a meditation on the vanishing of a linear perception of time, a flirtation with future memory, past infinity, and infinite present. The inhabitants of this suspended reality, this trance-scape, waltz their achromatic encounters of self and fellow selves in the grand ballroom of sound and image. We ponder the idea of a geminate reality, the duplicate, a twin existence, through the wide lens of imagination. The ideas that form the backbone and brain of the work are drawn from the imagined realms of the virtual. The work playfully examines the possibility of the existence of the human body, lifted out of its three-dimensional life and breath, in an alien world of the two-dimensional.
