Finally, Movements I, II, and IV of the "Lights" piece are complete... Transitions are all there too. I played the music for section III in rehearsal today so the dancers could see how much time they have to change costumes and prepare for the 4th section - it seems like plenty. Next Sunday I will be putting all five sections together (at least, what I have of it) so that Christine, the lighting designer, can start to think about lighting for sections III, IV, & V.
The "Stay" duet is coming along - I rehearse that piece tonight and I think we'll get most of the way through it. I have people coming in for that rehearsal over the next few weeks to be an extra eye since I'm dancing in the piece. The original dancers may come in and watch since they know the dance well.
"Habit of Change" is looking good - I'm done with all changes that I know of. I altered the ending slightly last week and I think its much stronger now. I've been thinking a lot about diagonals lately. Each of my committee members mentioned the presence of diagonals throughout the concert and suggested I stray away from it in other pieces since they are so prominent in "Habit"... it is something to think about for sure. I've tried to strictly stay on the horizontal and vertical with my Tuesday sextet and the "Stay" dance is more circular. I'm struggling in movement IV of lights and I keep running out of time where I need to change that one big diagonal moment.
