2026 · Dance · 40 minutes · Recorded score
Arena brings dance and live video into the same space. Created by Jessica Wright and Morgann Runacre-Temple — Jess and Morgs — for the Paris Opera Ballet, it asks how the camera can become part of the choreography and change the way we see the dancers.
I wrote the original score for the production, which premiered at the Palais Garnier on March 11, 2026, as part of the double bill Empreintes. The premiere run continued through March 28.
