VIDEOPas Beaucoup
Pas Beaucoup (2016)
Choreographer: Jill Guyton Nee
Performer: Kennedy McCaskill
Music: The Books, Mozart
Costume Design: Jill Guyton Nee
Lighting Design: Josh Williams
Choreographer Note: This work was commissioned by University of Florida. Originally choreographed in 2016, Pas Beaucoup imaginatively visits inside the mind of a young Marie Antoinette at the time in which she becomes queen. In the solo, the character represents a single moment in time in which a multitude of thoughts flood her brain: the ups and downs of court; navigating the manipulation of men; and balancing the rigidity of the French Crown’s expectations with the prodding encouragement to lavishly spend money.
