The Maestro
He has been conducting for hours, suit crumpled, things astray. One shoe has been kicked off in a fit of passion while the sock is bloodied from his hours standing.The red accents are deep and rich, like the ghostly orchestra he alone hears. The wilted flower in his lapel is yet another reminder of his obsession, or rather possession, of his craft.

Angel of Wrath
Her wings are stunted and ruffled, more like an irate barnyard bird than anything celestial. She can’t lift herself, so she moves in odd, abrupt flops that are unsettling to watch. The bandages across her eyes hint at violence long past, while the wraps on her hands are worn from constant fighting. She keeps to her elevated nest, overseeing everything from above. The sleeves and hem of her garment are torn by the grasping hands of those she’s dragged back to life, each rip an unintentional signature of her unwanted followers.

Skeleton Dancers
The lacey ribs that extended from the leotard to the wrists would have glow in the dark paint on them, making the bones the centerpiece in the blue lights. The torn tulle skirt would be from these skeletons clawing their way out of their graves to dance one more night on Halloween. The “bleeding heart” was how these skeleton brides died.
The choreography the Skeltons danced to was a mixture of lyrical and waltz. These dancers would crawl on the ground and then waltz beautifully as partners, the long fingers would not only compliment the grace but add a spooky effect of long unhuman fingers.
