7 Veils

Raised to be a suburban homemaker, our heroine employs 7 pairs of shoes and innumerable Craigslist classifieds to escape her predetermined life.  '7 Veils' examines one woman's trials with her own identity.  It is a pastiche of images, personae and texts inspired by Charles Mee's 'Salome.'

“I was most thrilled to see Erin perform her piece “7 Veils” at FAR…”

“What excited me most was that each of the musical selections put me inside a particular time of my life…”

“I look forward to seeing the result of their experimentation and polishing of this relevant, amusing and sometimes heartbreaking dance.”

“…gem of a dance/theatre piece…”

Response to "7 Veils":

    "I was most thrilled to see Erin perform her piece "7 Veils" at& FAR, a tiny performance space near the Chelsea Piers!

   What excited me the most was that each of the musical selections in "7 Veils" put me inside a particular time of my life. I also appreciated the manic shopping. I am a confessed shopaholic!  The throwing away of Starbucks cups - first tall, then Grande and finally Venti - was also quite humorous! I am a Starbucks addict and I know how important it is to place your order correctly!

   
  The mention of needing to be proficient at Microsoft Word, Excel and Power Point also made me laugh! I am 41 years old and my 7 year-old nephew, Spencer, is more technologically adept than me! I can recite the entire classical ballet vocabulary in both English and French and execute each move with grace and precision but I have just begun to master Word Perfect.

    This [was a] gem of a dance/theatre piece, and I look forward to seeing the result of Malleable Dance Theater's experimentation and polishing of this relevant, amusing and sometimes heartbreaking dance."
