Philip Glass : Reflections
An innovative dance and music collaboration between A.P Dance Collaborations and concert pianist Osman Tack. Led by Abigail Pillans, this project explores the first 10 etudes of Philip Glass’ compositions, blending contemporary dance with live piano to create an immersive and reflective performance. In a unique staging, the piano will be placed on stage with the dancers, allowing the audience to visually experience the dynamic relationship between the musician and the performers. This interplay between live music and movement will offer a fresh perspective on the emotional and rhythmic depth of Glass' compositions, highlighting the profound connection between sound and physical expression.
