Rapture Dance Project - City Lights

City Lights is Rapture Dance Project’s full-length contemporary show inspired by Charlie Chaplin’s, 1931 silent film. We chose City Lights because of the way the story parallels the creation of Rapture Dance Project. This story contains, what seems to be, so many small, unclear moments that alter the direction of the characters’ paths. These changes cause the characters to collide together, resulting in life-long relationships. So many times we overlook these simple miracles and focus just on the here and the now. This show’s creation process has given us, as artists, a chance to reflect on the moments in our own lives that may have been confusing, scary, unintelligent, or sad, and have found the beauty in them. We see now how those moments were placed perfectly in our path to bring us to this incredible time, with these astounding people.

“Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.” -Vincent Van Gogh
