The Virginia Tech Percussion Ensemble, directed by Dr. Annie Stevens, and Virginia Tech students in the VT Advanced Dance Class, along with their professor, Rachel Rugh, propose to perform Robert Honstein's, "An Index of Possibility”, as part of the 2025 New Music Research Day. The ensemble presented this full work with choreography by Rachel Rugh in 2022 at Virginia Tech, please see the accompanying links for that full performance. For this 2025 performance, the ensemble is flexible to perform all, or a portion of the 23-minute work, whichever might be selected by the committee to fit the parameters of the concert. Our research explores how percussive sounds can be interpreted through movement. Stevens and Rugh have brought their students together on several occasions for collaborative concerts, adding choreography to pre-existing percussion works. Other pieces include: "Shell" by Emma O'Halloran, "Postlude 8" by Eliott Cole, "Derivative" by Jlin, and "It Comes in Waves" by Radiohead. This creative research allows the dance and percussion students to explore a transdisciplinary collaboration within the arts, exposing them to a powerful connection that exists in cultures throughout the world and prepares them with a unique skillset to pursue these types of collaborations beyond graduation. Thoughtful consideration is explored by Stevens and Rugh upon choosing works that will lend themselves to an added visual element of dance. Consultation with the living composers, is a common part of the process. While the positioning of the percussionists on stage may be offset to allow for ample room for movement, the goal is never to let the music remain purely in the background, but for both ensembles to share the stage. In staying true to this approach, the musicians are included in the process that defines the final choreographed movement.
