It finds moments of vulnerability and tenderness, while portraying a relationship of mutual support. green-eyed, a fun, silly piece about jealousy, is choreographed by Glennon Clayton and Centenary Stage Company’s own Lea Antolini, tour director for the YAS (CSC’s Young Audience Series) and Centenary University professor. Glennon Clayton will also present Betty (Above), a piece she choreographed about her grandmother who suffered with dementia. Set and Fabrication Design by Angus Clayton. Also showcasing at the concert will be Ebb & Flow, a piece exploring the waves of energy within ourselves and amongst others. Finally, moe-tion dance theater company member, Rachel Brown will present Making Herstory, inspired by the saying, “real Queens straighten each other’s crowns.” This piece represents the power of women and the strength they use to support one another, brushing aside stereotypes and expectations.
