Gehry, Adams enhance Lucinda Childs’ ‘Light’
In “Available Light,” Childs’ choreography is heightened by a stacked, asymmetrical set design by architect Frank Gehry that makes the dancers seem to float.
Childs’ precise choreography in “Available Light” is danced to composer John Adams’ sparse, synthesized score, “Light Over Water.”
In its initial 1983 debut, the show presented Adams as a musician for the modern age, a master at classical composition boldly looking toward budding artistic trends such as minimalism and electronica.
