Abstract: It is this choreographer's belief that when a dance is created the needs of the audience must always be taken into account. The main motivation for "Cast Methyl Methacrylate" came from a desire on the part of the choreographer to produce a dance in which the audience would remain interested as well as enjoy. Six-foot colored plastic tubes are used in a unique and aesthetically pleasing manner in order to achieve a continuous element of surprise. This is accomplished throughout the dance by using a variety of stimuli which include properties, costumes, and the manipulation of time and light. Humor and the element of surprise can serve as a release from tension for the audience. "Cast Methyl Methacrylate" is divided into three separate and yet interrelated sections. Section I opens with a duet. The dancers explore the properties, discovering how they feel, how they move, and how they can affect the dancers’ range of movement. The tubes serve as impetus for much of the movement as well as becoming extensions of body parts and extending the range of movement potential. An eerie, absurd aura permeates the entire piece and is introduced at the beginning of this section.
