Eternal Circus Irish Dance Choreography by Gaby Stratmann

A passion project, the Eternal Circus, has been a part of my life for the past 3 years. It is a fictional story that I created around a glass eyeball that sucks people inside a circus and transforms them into performers. This dance follows a story arc that contains three parts distinguished by three different songs. The first part is the invitation to the circus, symbolized by the 5 younger dancers in white dresses, who represent origami paper cranes. The second section is when all of the people are introduced to the circus, becoming the performers in the process. Finally, the last part shows the people becoming stuck inside the circus and embodying various circus talents including the siamese twins, strong man, contortionist, lion, and lion tamer to name a few.

Thank you to the Teelin School of Irish Dance (Kathleen Young and Maureen Berry) for enabling me to include my choreography in their spring show and providing me with the resources to do so.
