Contained


From the opening view of the many dioramas on the back wall of the theater to the absolutely terrific collaboration with the musician Eric Weidenhof, and the gutsy dancing of the performers, there was much to be “contained” - review by Susan Gillis
An evening-length dance work for 8 movers, inspired by how humans define and curate the natural, animal, and wild. Inspired by the strange assortment of creatures found in natural history museums, dancers evolve from insects to animals, from humans to monsters, myths, and beyond.  Contained explores our relationship to the untamed.

Choreography by Moriah Ella Mason
Music by Eric Weidenhof
Set by Karen Glass
Costumes by Moriah Ella Mason
Performed by Sarah Bauer, Cecilia Ebitz, Mita Ghosal, Moriah Ella Mason, Patty Petronello, Joanna Reed, Laura Stokes, and Darcy Shaffner

Contained premiered at the New Hazlett Theater (Pittsburgh, PA) in 2014 as part of the Community Supported Arts program.
