Score (in process)
This page is a record of different moments of creation, some more realized than others, through our laboratory process. Our “script” is in the form of a score, meaning that it contains dialogue, action notes, choreographic sequences, and ideas. As the score is partially in short hand, we have included a few photos and short videos from our work in both formal performance spaces as well as rehearsal studios. All of the photos and video are drafts rather than fully rehearsed material. Our focus has been on capturing ideas and elements that we like and forming them as we move forward.
This web page is intended to be a visual score to accompany the textual score, which you can open/download here: Refracting Miss Julie – Textual Score.
The headings, “Moment A”, correspond to specific moments in the textual score that is either more physical or theatrical than can be well represented in text.

Moment F: Sex
Video from our showing at One Arm Red (June). This was a very new piece of choreography that we wanted to show to get feed back on the level of eroticism and how viewable it was. The newer version includes refined choreography as well as specific lighting and sound.
Moment H: Jean Fractures (shame)
Video taken of an improvisation in Composition Lab (November). Exploring the moment when the audience sees the character Jean split his desires.
Moment I: Pas de Trois- Julie and 2 Jeans
Video of first round of choreographic sketches in Composition Lab (November). Playing with moving from the formal waltz into a contact-driven trio.
Moment L: Stripping and shaming

Moment M: Kill the Bird
Video of improv in Composition Lab (Dec). Exploring the moment of Jean killing the bird in shadow play.
