"Music must be seen

in order to be heard!"

Igor Stravinsky

INnOvaionS is a special project of T. Daniel and Laurie Willets to brings a visual quality to music - to look inside the music - to see between the sounds at what lies there and to illuminate these qualities through movement for the audience to see - really see - the music.

Audiences hear the music, by the ear, but they understand the music through the soul. Mime reaches into the Music to extract these qualities and render them on the stage. The audience will see, by the eye, what the ear hears and the soul understands. The two senses combine to bring a new depth to the Music and the soul's understanding.

"The Mime has in common with music that it is vague, indefinite, immense, obscure

and nevertheless comprehensible to all."

Theophile Gautier, creator of the ballet "Giselle"

"...One marvelous creative event...!"

The Innovations Project leaps with creativity to provide a visual slant to Classical Music - and Mime - for the 21st Century. The Corporeal Instruments of T. Daniel and Laurie Willets cleverly articulate the nuances of Classical Music, while the Sound Instruments bring the music to the ear. Classical Music has never been seen nor heard in so visual a manner. Nor, has Modern Mime been so inventive with music.

The result stands IN OvaTionS!
