Walk Softly
Walk Softly is group work about making change, choreographed by Emily Smyth Vartanian and set to music by Donna Viscuso, Jackeline Rago, and Erika Luckett, in collaboration with the VNote Ensemble and 41Street Ensemble.
This piece is inspired by traditional bamboo stamping tubes called Quitiplas, each generating a different note, that are played by a musical ensemble to create a driving, multi-layered tune. This distinctive sound led Ms. Vartanian to create a work about the evolving definitions of teamwork and activism, expressed in her distinctively joyful and dynamic style woven harmoniously with the movement and storytelling embodied in General Mischief’s work.
