Creative and Breathless
by Scott Rink
In his pandemic life, absent from his art, choreographer Scott Rink reckons with the past 18 months.
One of the most profound experiences I have had as a choreographer was being asked to stage the poem “Renascence.” Composer Carmel Dean set this epic poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay to the most glorious music. Transport Group produced a workshop and later a production of the show (also called Renascence) around the writing of this poem. With a book written by Dick Scanlan and directed by Dick and Jack Cummings III (Transport Group Artistic Director), this was something I had never encountered in my career: something truly epic.
