Alice in Wonderland
June 28 - July 2, 2006
American Theater of Actors

For our first off-broadway venture, we scored 5 scenes from the modern ballet Alice in Wonderland, alongside esteemed composers Dan Gross and Conor McGibboney. This spectacular modern dance was produced by Elojes Dance Theater and choreographed by the talented Nicole Graffeo and Jessica Jennings. We had a wonderful time working alongside such gifted people and sharing the exhilaration of creating a new work of art.

The music was written with both classical and modern sensibilities, influenced by styles ranging from the Ballet Russes to Expressionism. Lietmotifs bring a new dimension to Alice's emotional journey, along with many dynamic and varied arrangements. On this page are some music highlights while the corresponding video will soon be available for viewing on the Elojes Dance Theater site.
