It was a challenge for me to make each one different. But as a choreographer I also had to find a theme that would hold them all together. They're too short to stand alone. So I have a swing in the middle of the stage. It's a prop that holds all the pieces together.
Every dance uses the swing in some way.
Bach-Coulibaly directs The Mask of Cain and Celestial Harmonies by Brown Orchestra Director Paul Phillips. Celestial Harmonies is accompanied by the Orchestra. I'm telling the story of five women, whose husbands are leaving to fight in the war. I'm using period costumes. Friday night will be the dance premiere of Phillips' ballet Celestial Harmonies , which has been played in concert but never choreographed until now.
