Myelination is an evening-length dance by Dorrance Dance, choreographed by artistic director Michelle Dorrance.
Music for Myelination (2015) commissioned by the Charles and Joan Gross Family Foundation.
The 2017-2018 creation and presentation of an evening-length version of Myelination is also supported, in part, by a New Music USA Project Grant.
We’d like to thank our families & loved ones for their endless support of our dreams. Special thank you to the Guggenheim Works & Process team for the use of their practice space. And thank you to the other artists from whom we stole for this album: Erykah Badu, Fatima, Flako, Jacob Collier, Elton John, Neil Diamond, George Gershwin.
This album is dedicated to the amazing group of people that make up Dorrance Dance, including the dancers and musicians, the administrative staff, the production and lighting crew, and especially the artistic director. We wouldn’t have it without you.
