Meet the Composer

Randall Woolf

Myths grow stronger—and more meaningful—as cultures overlap, cross borders, dance together. Each piece on this concert evokes the ancient power of storytelling through new, surprising juxtapositions. Indigenous Mexican tales are set in motion anew as Luna Negra Dance Theatre debuts a work to Paredes score. The spellbinding power of myths—the layers, the loss, the loves—provides the common bond for four rappers’ reinvention of urban myths transformed in Woolf’s multimedia world premiere.
