I conceived as a Dance piece for a design class. After its creation in concept it was taken to the University of Cincinnati’’s Office of Research were I was awarded a grant for the Summer of 2023. The Project was funded by the University were the Dance department provided one of their staff Choreographers to craft the piece based on the original concept provided while the costumes were created by myself. The goal was to be able to produce one piece of the Ballet libretto I wrote, Based on Vincent Van Gogh’s life. Going forward I would like to create more of this ballet I wrote and possibly get the entire piece created some day.
