http://clytemnestraproject.com • HELEN OF TROY, considered the most beautiful woman in the world, leaves husband for another. She inspires disaster as her first husband stalks her and is relentless in his revenge. • • In this solo, Helen laments the death and destruction that has been caused by her beauty. • • Carrie Ellmore-Tallitsch as Helen of Troy • For the first time Martha Graham Dance Company is giving you a chance to ReMash Graham history. • • When Martha Graham's Clytemnestra premiered in 1958 it became an instant hit, so it's no surprise that its 2008 revival has followed in its footsteps. • • So why stop there? Why not discover 21st century parallels to this Ancient Greek Graham classic. • • And why don't you discover them for us? • • We have posted five videos online for you to remix, just like the master herself. Each video depicts a character from Trojan War. • • You can choose from Helen of Troy, Electra, Clytemnestra, Cassandra, or a more abstract character the Messenger of Death. • • Choose one of the characters, take that video, and rework it (remix it, remash it, remaster it, whatever). • • Create a modern twist on these ancient characters through current pop culture news, personalities or events. • • The possibilities are endless: recast a character in contemporary style, change the music, add a background, learn the movement, develop your own group variation, place your character of choice in another dramatic or cultural context, • • Use your 21st century imagination and BRING IT! • • Show us your best, and you could win a $500 prize. • • The winning video will be featured live at one of our upcoming performances. • • The competition opens on February 1st, 2009 and the submissions deadline is March 31, 2009. Winners will be announced on May 11, 2009. • • We can't wait to see what you ReMash! • • Register here: • http://clytemnestraproject.com/regist...
