Cinematic

 

What happens when you use film music for dance? Composers who write music for film are unique in their ability to create an atmosphere, suggest an emotion, and build suspense. The music influences the way you look at the film and gives an extra dimension to the storyline. For Stephen Shropshire, the relationship between music and dance is a constant source of inspiration. The starting point for his choreography in Cinematic is the film music. Can this music strengthen and amplify the expressiveness of the dancing body?
