TRIGGER (Premiere 2010-11)

This work in progress showing of Helanius J. Wilkins' newest work, Trigger, is a showing of movement and music concepts currently being explored for the creation of the final work. Set to premiere during EDT's 10th Anniversary Season, Trigger is a cross-disciplinary work that will unfold as a choreographed play where ordinary people have extraordinary lives. Human stories of strength, honor, family and triumph will be revealed against a backdrop of some of our nations darkest moments involving black gangsters. This project will address issues of class, choice, and how economic conditions affect individual choice, exposing the double standards of the differential treatment received by minorities. The final work will be the result of a collaboration between EDGEWORKS, composer/musician Sven Abow, visual arts director/set designer Joyce Ellen Weinstein, and poet/playwright John Murillo.
This work is made possible in part by:
A partnership with Miriam's Kitchen, Dance Place in partnership with American Dance Institute, The DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities, and Meet The Composer.
