Twyla Tharp

Philip Glass wrote the music for Twyla Tharp's In The Upper Room back in the 80s.  It seems like Glass's music wouldn't give a choreographer as much to go on as music with, shall we say, a bit more substance.  I guess the choreorapher could either find that liberating or frustrating.  At any rate, it's interesting to think about how little of the dance seems to relate directly to the music beyond the general mood.  Try watching the same dance while listening to some completely different music...
