Work Overview
A series of short character pieces depicted various wild animals from around the world, paired with poetry by David Elliott from his book In the Wild; the movements range from the comic to the dramatic to the tragic. Broad appeal across audiences, well received by adult audiences in particular because of the programmatic elements, though also suitable for performance to young audiences.
