Reeling over Love

The Ritz Theatre 2009

July 16^th – 19^th, 2009

What do I love almost as much as dance? Movies!!! At one of our rehearsals dancers were talking over a movie they had recently seen and how their experiences in the dating world did not quite reflect the stories of the big screen. That got the wheels turning in my head of not only looking at how love was told through the movies, but what it can feel like in real life.

I started watching classic romantic movies, and spouting off memorable lines. From there we created our own movie story line and a movie score they could live in. Then we took a look at dating/loving in real life and brought it to a heightened satirical place. I absolutely loved working on “Reeling over Love,” and look forward to bringing it back again and again.

The first half of the production is where “Big Noise,” first premiered which we will be bringing back to our 10th Anniversary Concert and Karla Grotting set a fantastic piece on the dancers “Be Boppin’.” This was also the first EEE production for many of  our EEE All Stars including Susanne Grochett, Crystal Secor and Heather Annis!
