Produced by KQED as part of a full-length program celebrating ODC/Dance’s 20th Anniversary, “Loose the Thread” is based on Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsberg group in the early 20th century. ODC Artistic Director and choreographer Brenda Way collaborated with producer/director Wendy Slick to create this dance-for-television portrait of the famous Bohemian artists and their unconventional lifestyles. The piece features music by Paul Dresher with performances by KT Nelson, Arturo Fernandez, Julie Kanter, Mae Chesney, Ney Fonseca, Lisa Wallgren, Lizanne McAdams, Frank Evertt, and Richard Chen See.
