Trailer Samples

 

Solo

When the Solo concert was about to open at the Southern Theater, Perimeter Productions was uniquely placed to create a trailer advertising the show, as they had already filmed countless hours of footage for the Solo documentary centered around the concert. Using a section of the piece Still Life by composer Mary Ellen Childs, the trailer was designed to create excitement about a show by the six awarded dancers and their chosen choreographers.

The Irresistible Rise of Big Daddy Ubu

The Irresistible Rise of Big Daddy Ubu, an original play by Josh Cragun of nimbus theatre, centered on corrupt and vulgar Big Daddy Ubu and his political rise in a quest for power and money. The play was timed to go up just before the November 2008 elections, and the trailer was designed to connect to the elections, while still giving a sense of the play itself. In a parody of Hillary Clinton’s infamous 3 am ad, we see what happens when Big Daddy Ubu is the one picking up the phone.

Flamenco Peña

What happens when a group of people who love flamenco get together? Colette Illarde, a flamenco dancer in the Twin Cities and winner of the 2006 McKnight Fellowship for Dance, stars in a short piece designed to promote the flamenco and outreach to the community.
