FUEL
     
 
Artist's Statement  
 
Mary Moran choreographed FUEL in Spring 2001 specifically for herself and dance colleague, Juliana F. May. FUEL functions much like the inner workings of a machine, in constant motion, with both unison and weightsharing partnering sequences. Sensual, fast-paced, and forceful movement set to electronic music by Tortoise, the piece explores the inner workings of a machine. "This piece feels like a displacement of parts. It has an urgency and a need to get somewhere," says Moran of the piece. It will be performed March 2002 by Moran and May at the Tri-C East Theater in Cleveland, Ohio for the Northeast Ohio Dance Festival.
