dance from the quill charactersDance from the Quill: Reimagining Alexander Pope's The Rape of the Lock (VHS,DVD,DVD-ROM)
Currently designed to run on Mac OS 9

The BETHA (Battelle Endowment for Technology and Human Affairs) sponsored project, Dance from the Quill: Reimagining Alexander Pope's The Rape of the Lock, will be a two CD-ROM set, created under the direction of technology director, Tim Glenn, with collaborators Karen Eliot and Nena Couch. The CDs document and contextualize the creation and performance of a ballet based on Alexander Pope's 1717 poem, The Rape of the Lock.

The Rape of the Lock was made possible by a 1996 College of the Arts Seed Grant award. It resulted in a ballet in the Baroque style performed in Sullivant Theatre by 27 dancers and actors, accompanied by a live chamber ensemble performing music of the period. The three CD-ROM set may be of interest to educators, scholars and students across disciplinary boundaries.
