School for the Contemporary Arts, Burnaby, BC

objects for performance by Greg Snider

Six aluminum objects were designed and built for a performance by 25 dancers from the Dance Area’s fall FPA-327 Repertory II Class taught by Kathryn Ricketts. Choreography was arranged around the use of these objects, according to their physical characteristics and movement possibilities. The objects were based on corona rings provided by BC Hydo.

Music selections for the piece were from works by the late composer Martin Bartlett, who taught in the School from 1982 until his death in 1993. This work was dedicated to him.
