A Mozart Celebration

2006 is the 250th anniversary of Mozart’s birth. In celebration of one of the greatest composers, Run For Your Life! will present an all-Mozart concert  The time and place is to be announced. The repertoire will include:

Les Petits Riens

• Our spectacularly small performers Marianne Humainette and George “Stumpy” Spelvin finally make good on their threat to reduce this already tiny piece to their scale.

Some Wonderful Things

• Comic scenes from The Marriage of Figaro and The Magic Flute performed choreographically. These will include
• A Wonderful Thing
• A duet on crutches for Papageno and Papagena, choreographed for the 1991 San Francisco Mozart Festival.

• An abstract dance set to music of the same name by Dudley Brooks, in which two Mozart piano sonatas are played simultaneously, and otherwise transformed, while the same thing happens to the two dances choreographed to those sonatas.

• The mad tea party from Alice in Wonderland, set to Mozart’s Variations on Ah, vous dirai-je, maman.  Expanded from the version created for Moving Arts Dance’s A MAD Hatter Performance and Tea Party in December 2005.
