From music by Mozart, to Steve Reich, to Chet Baker, Bruce Wood Dance’s season opener should live up to its title: “Glow.” In this conversation with WRR’s Amy Bishop, BWD Artistic Director Joy Bollinger gives a sneak peek into the three groundbreaking contemporary dance pieces on the program. They also discuss a wide range of other dance topics: What’s it like to work with a living choreographer to premiere their work? What are the differences of dancing to live music as opposed to recorded? How is dance choreography chronicled, so that it can be passed down generation from generation? If you love all things dance, you’ll enjoy this conversation!
