Remote Collaborations
“I no longer need to travel to see a rehearsal of a piece, which allows me to work with anyone with access to the internet.”
One of my first collaborations with dance was with the Jose Limon Dance Company. We were making an evening length piece and had six months to make the piece. For most of that process, I would spend each day in the dance studio with the company as the piece was being created. I would be working on the music while Mark Haim, the choreographer, would be developing different sections of the piece. Whenever he wanted to try something, I was right there to play along with the choreographic idea. Mark and I would meet before and after rehearsals and talk about the piece. It was an incredible experience and I really thought that every collaborative process would be just like that.
