Aislinn, Brad, Joey, Nick:
I was really intrigued by the idea of using the lectern as a vehicle for protest. The inherent power structures between the person at the lectern versus those watching is definitely worth exploring, and I think you are on the right path! I am interested to see how the caricature-like movement will communicate with the ambient music.

Christopher, Hannah, Maya, Tessa:
I loved this piece! The physical message that Hannah and Maya were creating was so powerful and gripping. I also loved Tessa's ending sequence music. I am really excited to see how you will put movement to that, but also interested to see if you don't, if that makes sense. This might be too ambitious, but maybe if there was no movement but instead a video that played to it depicting something about your message, that would rock.

Mira, Nick, Olivia, Steve:
I think that the dialogue between the musicians and dancer was super cool and interesting. I think you guys could take it much further though, perhaps with actual movement as well. I know it would be difficult to move the piano, but the other positions have an ability to interact further with the dancer. The dancing was also amazing and incredibly poignant. Maybe having props would provide a way to interact with the musicians.
