Their work, a multimedia piece titled 鈥淟ove and Violence in America 2014,鈥 was the second multimedia performance partnership between the two. Mullone and Mobley created 鈥淏abel,鈥 earlier this year.
鈥淒r. Mobley and I collaborated back in the spring with the premier of 鈥楤abel,鈥 another multimedia work involving the dance and music students with video and original compositions,鈥 Mullone said.
For a piece such as 鈥淟ove and Violence in America 2014,鈥 Mullone said the work benefitted from a national audience. 鈥淲e felt the need to present a work on the professional stage,鈥 she said.
The two chose a popular Fort Worth museum for their performance. 鈥淚 suggested the Modern Art Museum not only for its unique dancing space, but also as a great opportunity to perform in a nationally recognized museum,鈥 Mullone said.
