The Perfect Relationship The Perfect Relationship: A Dance Concert of Duets tells the story of an evolving relationship between a man and a woman: from the innocence of their first joyous if unreal love, through disappointment and disconnection. Out of this disillusionment springs the beginning of true trust, and the intersection of sensuality and spirituality, ultimately giving birth to their creation of a purposeful loving union.
This is an evening length work consisting of six pieces, each with its own distinctive style and mood. The pieces, with live music, weave together to form a continuing story. The music ranges from original commissioned instrumental works, to blues and Indian music, much of it performed live by a group of musicians including guitarists, tabla, bass, violin, flute, clarinet, saxaphone, and vocalists.
