REPERTOIREAT’EM (ATEM) ADAMCHOREOGRAPHER Terence Marling (seehis bio on page 26)MUSIC Gerald Marks’ “All of Me” performedby Billie Holiday, George Gershwin’s“But Not For Me” performed byElla Fitzgerald and music by Edgar Meyer,Moondog and Luciano BerioLENGTH 20 minutesPREMIERE March 18, 2010TITLE The title takes inspiration from thecolloquial expression “Up and at ‘em;”“atem,” the German word for “breath;”and the biblical story of Adam.MARLING “I usually don’t turn on themusic for the piece of choreography rightaway. We started by working with a perpetuallychanging soundtrack. We madephrases of movement together until wehad a language to work from. Then wetook that language and applied it to theactual music for the piece. The dancershave made (and will continue to make)many of the musical and movementdecisions in the piece. I want the dancersto have the freedom to make choicesabout their movement and delivery onstage to keep the piece solidly in thepresent. The artists in this company aresome of the best in the world. It is bothan honor and a joy to share a studiowith them, back to the mirror or sweatingon the dance floor.”CastingJacqueline BurnettRobyn Mineko WilliamsJessica TongKellie EpperheimerLaura HalmPablo PiantinoBrian EnosChristian BroomhallJason HortinKevin Shannon28 UMS 09-10
