Winter Suite includes three pieces for dancer, sound, and image in which
the character of a young woman explores many different landscapes (both real,
imaginary and/or subconscious) looking for answers out of the cold and vibrant
backdrop of winter.  She is aided by people, critters, little things she finds
along the way, including some Viking rune stones and a bright
red, poofy hair clip. The Jitter programming language is used
to control live image processing during the performance.
