Twyla Tharp Dance Foundation: Catherine Wheel (2005)

To original music by David Byrne of Talking Heads, The Catherine Wheel is a rock-dance special by New York choreographer Twyla Tharp. The piece grew out of Twyla Tharp's fascination with Saint Catherine, the 4th century martyr who was condemned to die on a spiked wheel. Twyla Tharp then refashioned this piece specially for television, using an assortment of spectacular visual effects - animation, computer-generated figures, shadow play and reverse action - that interact with the dancers to create a phenomenal dance and video experience
