Artist in Residence: Christopher Williams – Narcissus
October 26, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Christopher Williams will be using his time at Bethany to develop choreography for original versions of two works “Narcissus” and “Les Sylphides” set to scores composed for Diaghilev’s famed Ballets Russes. The evening-length works will re-appropriate themes of ancient myth and folklore to re-imagine the historic scores through a contemporary queer lens.
The evening’s program will consist of a work-in-progress showing of material from his works in progress “Narcissus” and “Les Sylphides” as well as excerpts from existing repertory including his “Bessie” Award-winning “Ursula and the 11,000 Virgins” (2005) and “Spirits of the Air” (2015). The showing will also include a question and answer session.
