Abstract: Nebula 2072 is a design study based upon the idea of futurity. It is conceived in the hope that the spectator may enjoy interesting shapes and floor patterns created by the bodies of the dancers. The music, Noise Study by James Tenny, and percussion using a bass drum and Chinese Tom Tom, black, white, and chrome colored costumes, and lighting which suggests spaciousness are aids in achieving an atmosphere of the future. The dancers enter in a processional which is used throughout the dance in achieving unity. Three dancers in section one introduce the first of several geometrical body shapes which are to appear in the dance. Pulsating lights in this section are used in balancing the stage and further projecting the idea of a future existence. A manipulation of the processional is used for material in the transitions.
