Marginalia is a large-scale choreographic project devoted to the creation of new works commingling contemporary dance and visual design (including sculptural costume and/or puppetry) with historic or newly composed music integral to each work.
The project Marginalia, drawing its name from the fantastical imagery found in the margins of medieval illuminated manuscripts, is a large-scale choreographic project devoted to creating new works commingling contemporary dance and visual design elements (such as sculptural costume, puppetry, and sets) with historic or newly composed music integral to each work. Inspired by ancient mythology, folklore, and medieval literature from many cultures, the project aims to re-imagine outmoded or marginalized sensibilities from lost ages in the context of contemporary performance.
