Diario Di Un Pazzo (Diary of the Crazy) was developed through a workshop process of exploring dancers’ real-life experiences. Six aggressive female dancers perform a physically challenging piece examining the gamut of human emotions including insecurity, nervousness, realization, panic and the need for flight. Their voices crowd the space as they blend into a united story, explaining a lone woman’s real-life ordeal. Lighting, costumes and video effects assist in creating the chaotic disarray. Images are projected onto the women’s bodies already covered in white dresses that at times resemble strait jackets. All elements combine to reenact the emotions this story evokes.
