1 score (viii, 57 p.) / Enmity was conceived in collaboration with choreographer Liana Conyers and was premiered on May 17, 2011 in Dougherty Dance Theater at the University of Oregon, School of Music and Dance. This piece was born out of my strong belief in art as collaboration. The initial idea for this project began with my prior interest in music as it pertains to dance and the dynamic relationship between the two art forms. Having composed several works for dance, I explore the specific relationships between music and movement and how they combine to engage the viewer. The narrative of Enmity shares a social commentary that is relevant and personal to my experience as an artist. Enmity was consciously composed with the intent of movement being part of the compositional process. There is a strong influence and connection between sound and movement; often, composers are subconsciously thinking about music as it relates to movement, conceptually or physically. / Committee in charge: David Crumb, Chairperson;
