SUMMARY:The Woods
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n“The music of THE WOODS is as smart as it is sexy, and the athletic choreography and vision to create an immersive experience for the audience will make this a must-see event,” said Ian Belknap, Artistic Director of New York Stage and Film.\nTHE WOODS is an immersive concert experience created by San Fermin, led by composer Ellis Ludwig-Leone, and adventurous production company BalletCollective, led by choreographer/director Troy Schumacher, New York City Ballet. Schumacher and Ludwig-Leone also collaborated closely with Emmy Award-winning set and production designer Jason Ardizzone-West throughout the creative development of THE WOODS.\n“When the opportunity to create THE WOODS sprouted, I knew that the support offered by New York Stage and Film to create, develop, and workshop the show prior to its world premiere would prove invaluable,” said Troy Schumacher, Co-Founder of BalletCollective.\nLudwig-Leone and Schumacher have been creative partners since 2013’s “truly singular” (New York Times) ballet The Impulse Wants Company, and have since created eight pieces together, culminating in 2023’s The Night Falls, an “ingenious” (The New Yorker) work of musical theater that merged the worlds of opera and dance.\nThe music of San Fermin, lauded for its “knack for simultaneously expressing beauty and crisis,” (The New Yorker), lends itself to this expansive setting and theatrical treatment. What is the role of storytelling—and songwriting—in a constantly shifting, often terrifying reality? THE WOODS celebrates the alchemical power of music and dance to transform fear and loss into life-affirming and communal experiences: in a world that is always in motion, we must resolve to love.\nInitial casting includes Lead Vocalists: Allen Tate (San Fermin), Claire Wellin (San Fermin), Mckenzie Cahill; Featured Performers: Annalise Gehling, Sophie Rose Shapiro, Thomas Hogan, Mizuho Kappa, Leslie Andrea Williams; San Fermin band: Ellis Ludwig-Leone (Bandleader), Griffin Brown (Drums), Tyler McDiarmid (Guitar), Stephen Chen (Saxophone); Additional Musicians: Andy Clausen (Trombone), Addison Maye-Saxon (Trombone), Lauren Cauley (Violin); Ensemble Dancers: Arcadian Broad, Justin Daniels, Shizu Higa, Salma Kiuhan, Devin Loh, Solange Rodrigues, Noah Wang, Annika Wong.\n\n\n\n\n
