PLUTONIA is a contemporary space ballet conceived by Raison D'Etre Dance Project and set to my original score. It premiered as part of the company’s RACHMANINOV AND PLUTONIA double bill event on June 10 and 11 at The Commons in Bozeman, MT. Featured in this gallery are the promo videos that I created using imagery and videos I captured during rehearsals and performance.
I was also invited to choreograph four of the dances performed in the show.
