Inspired by the bright and cheerful space at Luli Creative House, tbd. dance collective created a 30 minute choreographic work exploring both the architecture and openness of the room. Movement was illuminated by the natural light streaming in through the large, industrial windows, intertwined with colorful fabrics, and surrounded by cozy furniture, that served as both audience seating and a prop for the dancers. tbd. was thrilled to once again collaborate with Omaha based musician Megan Siebe to provide a composition of loops and soundscapes that interweave alongside the dancer's movement and fabrics.
In addition to creating an original score for tbd., Megan performed a live solo set prior to the dance performance!
