LATE REGISTRATION by Rena Butler, an ABT Studio Company commission with original music by Darryl Hoffman, is filmed by Red is Dancing and performed by Madison Brown, Finnian Carmeci, Alejandro Valera Outlaw, and Aleisha Walker.
“LATE REGISTRATION is an explorative, study hall dream sequence filtered through references of manga or Japanese anime…this work captures moving images of a continuous daydream, and invites the viewer on a fantastical ride before the school bell rings.” - Rena Butler, choreographer
This filming of LATE REGISTRATION is made possible with leadership support from Sofia Elizalde.
