BECOMING ANOTHER was inspired by two visual artists and their six month documented work with charcoal drawings and sketched writings of poetry centered around the theme of love. Research was done by composer Dr. Young Mi Ha on the Diary of Adam and Eve by Mark Twain. The breakdown of music and dance composition was discussed between both composer and choreographer on the four variations within the entire musical score and compositional structure of dance. Becoming Another is about a couple, seen in the present time, and then in three stages of their lives together; young/yellow, romantic/red, and old/ silver.
