Light In the Piazza with Opera in the Heights

Alyssa's playful and hip-swaying choreography imbued Scott Clark's portrayal of Giuseppe with passion and verve. 

In crafting Giuseppe's movements, I aimed to infuse a sense of playfulness and allure, reflecting the time period’s choreography style. The subtle sway of the hips and dynamic gestures were meant to convey Giuseppe's passion and vivacity, enhancing Scott Clark's portrayal of the character. By incorporating these elements, we sought to create a performance that captivated the audience and brought Giuseppe's personality to life on stage.
