Uncommon Threads

"When Marilyn creates a new dance cocktail, she sometimes begins with very abstract ideas. A simple feeling or movement could be the inspiration, or she may have some specific vision she wants to convey. My job is to figure out how to dress the dancer as a character that the audience can understand, and also to help tell the story. We create starting from different points, but we always end up making it work."

— Designer Catherine Zehr
