NYU Dance Education Program Distinguished Faculty Concert

Maria Piedad performed the dance/theater piece “Having Conjunctions” choreographed and directed by the well known choreographer Claire Porter. The piece was part of the 2014 NYU Dance Education Program Faculty Concert NYU which happened at the Frederick Lowe Theatre in New York last April.

This piece´s creative process embraced movement, interpretation and linguistic clusters explorations to create unique stories for each character. Along the choreography, small stories were told using only grammatical conjunctions as language. The piece had a humoristic touch, a characteristic of Claire’s work. The audience enjoyed this piece and Maria Piedad could use her oratory skills playing with a text and its counterpart in rapid Spanish.
