To infinite possibilites, an interview w/ Muffie + Tahni interview and editing by Kate Bredeson
“To infinite possibilities”: An interview with Muffie Delgado Connelly and Tahni Holt
Interview and editing by Kate Bredeson
On August 15, 2022, Muffie Delgado Connelly, Tahni Holt, and I sat down to talk about their dance collaboration Pulse Mountain, for which I am the dramaturg. Originally scheduled to open on July 21, 2022, Pulse Mountain was postponed due to COVID-19. We took advantage of the unexpected pause in production to think about this new work and the process of making it. Before we started our formal conversation, we chatted about Delgado Connelly’s work as choreographer on the upcoming production of Tick, Tick, BOOM! at Portland Center Stage, and how narrative and music as dramaturgical devices invite audiences to think and feel. Our discussion then segued into Pulse Mountain. What follows is an edited version of our conversation.
