David Lee answered a few questions about the event:
Who is Debbie Dean?
She was a local stage manager and the Box Office Manager of The Orlando Rep. She was a very dear freind to many in the theatre community here.
How did you come to know her?
She stage managed shows for me and I fell in love with her.
How did you become involved wit the UCF dance department?
I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at UCF in the Theatre Department. There is a Dance Minor in the Theatre Conservatory and this is the second dance concert they have had at The Rep. I asked if I could create a piece with soem students.
What's your background in choreography?
I had four years of dance as an undergrad in the Theatre Department at The University of Miami. The piece we created is more of a movement piece rather than a dance piece and is inspired by Debbie's battle with cancer, the book "Illness as Metaphor" by Susan Sontag and the Viewpoints work of Tadashi Suzuki and Anne Bogart.
What's your dance piece like?
It's a piece about the Sontag idea of the two worlds we live and pass
through, "the kingdom of the well and the kingdom of the sick."
What's one local event you think more people should be aware of?
The UCF Symphony of Dance Concert of course!
