Revel’s “Bolero” is one of the most recognized pieces of orchestral music. Choreographer, Duane Cyrus asked me to design the costumes for his dancers from the University of Arizona’s School of Dance in a performance with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra (Conducted by Maestro Jose Luis Gomez) of Revel’s iconic orcehstration. I was excited to create a new vision for Revel’s timeless masterpiece, Inspired by the bold, graphic aesthetics of Martha Graham. I imagined the dancers as an ancient culture captured in a ritual of movement.
