ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
Graham Reynolds’ music populates the world of big-time entertainment. Chances are, you’ve heard this Austin composer’s work on countless movie soundtracks, including Before Midnight, Bernie and A Scanner Darkly. Graham Reynolds is one of choreographer Stephen Mills’ favorite collaborators for original dance music. Reynolds has scored numerous compositions for Mills shorter works, as well as full-length ballet such as GRIMM TALES, BELLE REDUX / A TALE OF BEAUTY & THE BEAST and CULT OF COLOR: CALL TO COLOR. Mills and Reynolds join forces once again in THE GRAHAM REYNOLDS PROJECT, a perfect marriage of their classically innovative styles. Savor three original works—BOUNCE, THOUGH THE EARTH GIVES WAY and the world premiere of ONCE BELONGING.
