THE GLASS PROJECT - STEPHEN MILLS

SOBRE LA PRODUCCIÓN

THE GLASS PROJECT was part of choreographer Stephen Mills’ series of composer-inspired productions, following THE BACH PROJECT and exploring the musical world of Philip Glass. THE GLASS PROJECT brought the mesmerizing, pulse-driven music of legendary composer Philip Glass to life through three contemporary ballet works choreographed by Ballet Austin Artistic Director Stephen Mills. LIMINAL GLAM opened the program with an energetic, sleek aesthetic that explored transitional (“liminal”) spaces and the idea of how a defined image or movement phrase gradually degrades through repetition. ANGEL OF MY NATURE was the centerpiece of the evening, characterized by a darker, more intimate and introspective tone. Michelle Schumann’s live piano performance of Glass’s compositions for this piece earned critical acclaim in Austin’s performing arts awards that year. CARBON53 completed the triptych by contrasting the earlier two world premieres with a third distinct mood and choreographic environment, rounding out the full-evening celebration of Glass’s music.

Blending Glass’s hypnotic rhythms and atmospheric soundscapes with Mills’ inventive, emotionally charged movement, the production transformed minimalist music into a feast for the eyes and ears—proof that sometimes, less really is more.
