A 10 - 15 minute piece that flows

Hello! I am a choreographer and I am working on creating a new dance piece for a new show. My idea is discussing what real joy is. The piece will explore the intersections between performative joy, the tribulations of maintaining joy, using outside sources to force joy, and genuine joy.

For the 10+ minute track, I will be using 5 genres of music to inform different aspects of these intersections. I would love the opening to be a very upbeat joyful Gospe ... l track that has the potential to add some harmonic vocals singing "Joy, bring us joy, this is joy" later on. The song will then transition to a very show tune/jazz funk/ any genre that embodies the idea of performing over the top happiness. I want something that people can make their movements extra on stage. The third section will be a very sultry jazz song that will help imply the use of vices bringing joy. This piece can definitely be a bit darker too. The fourth section should be super classical, balletic vibes. I want this to be able to contrast angelic and light with effort and work. The final part of the track can be very soundscape like and ethereal. I am also happy for there to be a lot of your own interpretation of joy into this section. I would love if the track could almost end without resolving since the final part of the piece will be preformed in silence and I'd love to leave the audience on a cliff hanger.

I know this is a large project and requires a lot of aspects to create an outstanding piece. I am really passionate and excited about this project. If you are at all interested in collaborating with me on this piece I would love to hear your thoughts!
