Todesm\u00e4rsche depicts the emotional turmoil and inhumane conditions and activities that occurred at the concentration camps throughout Europe in the 1930\u2019s\/40\u2019s. In preparation to the choreographic process of the work, Carisa visited concentration camps while on her trips in Europe. Both of us have read numerous stories of survivors from the camps, listened to historical recordings, and viewed hundreds of images from the camps. Although we abstracted the movement, some of the movement and turmoil seen in those photographs can be seen reflected throughout Todesm\u00e4rsche. As a team, we decided not to tell just one person\u2019s story but to try and bring to light the pain and suffering of the men, women and children in the camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During its premiere at the American College Dance Association\u2019s concert, Todesm\u00e4rsche received much praise for its historical significance, powerful images, as well as for being patient in the telling of the work and for fully emerging the audience into the work. Critics also commented on the strong execution of the dancer\u2019s technique while performing with a sense of abandonment. Audience members approached us after the performance to plead with us to bring the work to their area. The work was ultimately accepted to represent the region in the South-Central Regional Gala and was passed along for consideration for a performance at Jacob\u2019s Pillow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Christine Bergeron<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photos by Igor Kraguljac<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We premiered, Todesm\u00e4rsche, an excerpt of&nbsp;But Where There\u2019s Hope, There\u2019s Life,&nbsp;on March 8, 2019 at the 1st Adjudicated Concert held at the American College Dance Association\u2019s South-Central Regional Conference.
