Description of Dance
"A Common Thread"
Choreography by Yelena Konetchy
Music composed by Nate Laningham
My goal in this work is to embrace individuality and communion within human kind.
Choreography is inspired by Loie Fuller's use of silk sheets in contemporary movement.

The dancers are held together by a common idea, a thread of sorts.That idea is up to the viewer's interpretation. That idea may represent family, work, friendship, hate, love. Each dancer is connected to this idea via the silks, which symbolize a common thread between them, until one dancer begins to realize the value of her/his own individuality. That dancer pulls out of the group and parts from the silks. Soon the other dancers realize their value. Before long they find they share a stronger bond. That bond is the recognition of each dancer's unique personality and independence. Their personalities are shared between one another and are accepted as the true bond of humankind.
