VON HOWARD PROJECT
Ailey Citigroup Theater - September 2012

Directed by Christian von Howard
Costumes by Tamara Cobus, Karl Green, Johann Stegmeir, and Christian von Howard

Dark Chapters is a collection of 5 different movement stories; each of which represents a sensory connection to a specific moment in time.  Layered with subtle details, each chapter is a reaction to preconceived notions surrounding interpersonal relationships.  This dark journey of physical and emotional landscapes enters a dreamlike state with a fanciful re-adaptation of a time long past; a divertissement reflecting the historical imagining of the Black Britons of the Victorian Era.  Dark Chapters is inspired by the temporal sensations of the mind and body, its passions and appetites.
