Choreographer hopes to spur thinking with 'The Department'
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "'My biggest inspiration of all is 'The Great Dictator' (the 1940 film spoof of Adolf Hitler by Charlie Chaplin),' Stromgren says. 'He's my biggest inspiration. As a kid, you remember the humor of ('The Great Dictator'). Later, you suddenly realize the serious danger of it all.'"

This sounds like an amazing performance. I remember seeing The Great Dictator back in a high school history class and loving it. The meduim they are using to tell the story too is a very interesting choice. The increasing number of shows using dance and movement to tell a story is increasing. I wonder if people are tired of hearing about, or saying, what problems are world is facing. I feel the same way sometimes, and think that movement and dance has an incredible power to make people act and move themselves.
