THE LEMON TABLE
The Lemon Table is a dance that is inspired by a broad range of sources, all of which concern themselves with layers of creative decay, aging and renewal. The four sections are choreographed for the full RTMD Company, actress, soprano, female chorus and piano, with design and imagery by Peter Dyer, and set to vocal and choral pieces by Richard Strauss and Sergei Rachmaninov.
Ms. Gately’s choreography challenges the audience to sit at the Lemon Table and share in the metaphorical reflections of these artists as they struggled with their diminished talents, hopes, lives and desires. The Lemon Table was performed in its original incarnation at The Atlanta Ballet June 9th through 11th, 2011. The revision incorporated in this proposal will be a revision of the chorography within the original structure.

SOUTHERN SIGNS
Southern Signs, a collaboration of choreography and photography, designed to draw us into an exploration of what it is to "Southern". The images collected for this collaboration prompt fanciful questions of travelling through the South. The gathered provenance of the photographs, dance and music provides a framework that seeks to tell something about community as a who, real or dreamed.
