Open Genre Project

Some people asked for me to post my project on my blog. So here it is! :)
It's based on Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys.
Stella Faux composed the music all on her own - I know, she's the coolest human ever, please let her know whenever it's possible because it's true.
This was interpretive improvisational choreography based on several themes of the novel.

By choosing an insect as the new body of Gregor, it gives both the reader and the characters that Gregor encounters in the book the ultimate sense of dehumanization without leaving the realm of living vertebrate.
