A MIDNIGHT DANCE

... through the poison garden



for symphonic winds & percussion

Adjacent Alnwick Castle, in Northumberland, England, is a vast complex of formal gardens. Amongst these gardens sits a smaller one that is only accessible through a black gate. And fixed to the front of this gate is a sign with a prominent skull & crossbones, and the words, "THESE PLANTS CAN KILL." Visitors are forbidden from touching, tasting, or smelling any of these plants or risk the natural consequences. 


A Midnight Dance... Through the Poison Garden imagines one entering through these gates and dancing their way through this precarious organic environment. The intoxicating element of danger guiding their steps and movement under the light of a full moon.
