A Modern Night at the Folly 2014
The 11th year at the Folly
The night of the performance was bitterly cold with a foot of new snow and a nearly full house anyway. Eleven people brought their work and their dancers to the concert.
Here are some of the pictures. They are from rehearsals, tech/dress and performance.11 Choreographers - Picture Page

On Saturday Kameron was appearing with Störling Dance Theater as freed slave Frederick Douglas at the Kauffman. To see Kameron in performance last fall at UMKC where he is a student in the dance program take a look at my UMKC fall 2013 dance concert page. He is shown in several pictures, just search for "Kameron" (check the bottom where he is holding
a picture of himself in performance.

Cibophobia
There is more to show here in terms of a comparison between rehearsal and performance. (aside: In dance contests a good recovery can net more points than a good execution.because "thinking on your feet" is now in the moment) The picture above is from the performance. Look at the leg-brace on the table and you will see that is not locked into position. In other pictures you can see that neither brace was fully set and locked. The table collapsed a few moves after this as she turned around to sit on the edge one but Carly recovered well enough in the moment that only a few wondered whether that was or wasn't in the choreography.
The same moment in tech rehearsal, different angle. The leg brace is locked. In the original choreography
Carly does a few movements then sits on the end, then a few more movements, then turns the table
upside down and ends on top of the upside down surface.
In Tech
Early in the performance. notice the leg braces. Neither is locked. The table was setup in the black.
