A new pilot program of the American Composers Forum, Music in Motion allows composers and choreographers create collborative pieces. 3 workshops culminate in a 1-night-only performance of new works of dance and music. The American Composers Forum and James Sewell Ballet commissioned 2 composer-choreographer pairs to create new works of music and dance to be performed by James Sewell Ballet dancers at the SPCO Center's Huss Room.
Bethany participated in a commissioned piece composed by Marc Jensen and choreographed by Morgan Thorson, entitled "No Feeling For Harmony".
Musicians included Zachary Crockett (flute), Bethany Lacktorin (violin, electronics), Owen Weaver (percussion), and Mike Hallenbeck playing granulating samples of wind chimes and clinking glasses...
