Montclair State University - The Eye Is the First Circle (world premiere)

  • Alexander Kasser Theater 1 Normal Avenue Montclair, NJ, 07043 United States (map)

The Eye is the First Circle is a very personal piece that, at its core, explores how my family’s world shaped my relationship to art. I devised it using my father Simon Dinnerstein’s Fulbright Triptych and Charles Ives’s Concord Sonata. My intellectual, emotional and artistic response to each work, and to the connections I saw between them, is what formed the larger circle I drew.”

-Simone Dinnerstein

A project conceived and directed by Simone Dinnerstein, in collaboration with projection designer Laurie Olinder and lighting designer Davison Scandrett.
