I just got back from an interview with the Eugene Ballet Company's Gillmer Duran, who's choreographing a new piece for the Feb. 13-14 Dark Side of the Moon performance.
Gotta say, I'm excited about this one. I watched rehearsal for the "Dark Side" portion yesterday, with EBC Artistic Director (and founder) Toni Pimble polishing up some of the choreography. Me, I'm not a Pink Floyd fan (to put it mildly), but the dancers made the music work. In addition to "Dark Side" (for which The Floydian Slips will play live, behind the dancers, on the Silva stage), the Ballet is also presenting "Common Ground," Pimble's collaboration with James Oliverio, and Duran's piece.
More on rehearsal and my interview with Duran later, but here's the video of rehearsal for "Without the Cover," by videographer Neil Moyer:
