Plot summary:
Dancers start in all black.
As the piece progresses,
elements of white that are
hidden in their costumes are
gradually introduced.
The piece climaxes when the
lead dancer pulls a copious
amount of white silk from her
cat suit and covers
all the dancers with it.

Production designer:
The task at hand was to illustrate the birth of the universe with this dance.
My creative solution to that was to hide a projection screen in the dancer's "stomach" that would make her look pregnant.
That screen had four ropes connecting its edges to a system of pulleys.
During the climax of the birth dance, the pulley system was activated and the screen instantly shot out of the dancer's "stomach," hiding her behind, while - in the same instant - imagery of the universe projected on the screen.
