Utah Presents and SALT Contemporary Dance brings us ‘The Bridge’! This production is based on the story of An Occurrence of Owl Creek Bridge and is scored by The Fictionist’s Stuart Maxfield. This tells the story of Payton, a man who defies the army during the civil war and has to pay for his actions.
This is actually the second time I have design this show, though it is very different from the first. This time is through and through a dance show. In 2016 The production was put on and was closer to a rock opera, including elements of movement, projections and a full orchestrations. NYC based choreographer Brendan Duggan has made this production a moving, and emotional story that will captivate you leave you to interpret at your own will.
Accenting what Brendan has done I created many environments, from calm and compelling to dangerous, angular and sharp to tell Payton’s story in a very abstract way.
The show runs from Nov 8th-10th. Such a short run so come see it while you can!
