Flower Dances in Shakespeare
Choreography Winter’s Tale Photo Credit Gerry Goodstein
What fun to have opening and closing flower petals as a metaphor for Perdita’s Dance in Winter’s Tale, Second Act! So lucky to work with director, George Drance.

Acting in Greek Drama
To pull out Klytaimestra’s gut-fueled desire for justice/revenge, the Greek and Tribal Acting techniques I used with Nisarah were based on actively connecting her body sections and even her organs to her voice of power.

Greek Theatre and Tribal Acting

Kassandra was on stage for much of the play without a word to say to establish her presence. Using techniques I’ve adapted from ancient sources, I coached her to listen with her entire body using breath and unique images as a way to communicate with the audience.

Fordham Playwrights in #ReWriteWeekend
At the end of a four-day cyber-writing and revision event, 23 new scenes and their writers gather to read what’s landed on their pages. Over the next 6 weeks scenes are cast, directed and performed. Feed-backs, talk-backs, throw-backs ensue. Fordham University. Party to come.

Six Hand Jig in the Parnell Song!
Christine Sang’s Choreography, Open Fist Theater Company, James Joyce’s The Dead
This shows one of the Irish dance sets I adapted as the choreography for The Open Fist Theater Company’s production of Joyce’s “The Dead.” It’s a six-hand jig, which is just that – a dance for six people. Which translates into multitudes of multiples of 6 possible combinations: a choreographer’s dream.
A moment when the party annoys the downstairs neighbor by dancing too much.

James Joyce’s THE DEAD, choreography by Christine Sang
The moving, haunting, beautiful theater that James Joyce’s The Dead evokes will be playing again, mid-January, Los Angeles. Originally directed by Charles Otte, Jessica Kubzansky, of the famed Boston Court, will be recreating the OFTC remounting of this haunting play. I’m so pleased to add my choreography once again to this beautiful piece.
