Splitting of the Minds
June 29, 2019
Splitting of the Minds is a collaboration between choreographer, Brenné Forst and composer, Hannah Rice. This project focuses on the subject of schizophrenia and outlines the story of one girl and the two voices inside of her head: depression and mania. As each voice slowly overtake the girl, she begins to have a manic-depressive episode on stage. The music drives her episode and seeks to evoke empathy and understanding in the audience. Splitting of the Minds expresses what mental illness is like by presenting it as a human experience, combatting the stigma currently surrounding mental illness in our society.
