Wonderbound’s Teaser episodes are not only a great place to get a sneak peek into their newest project, but they also allow the company to showcase members the audience rarely gets to interact with. For example, costume designer Rachel Kras gets to show off her designs and chat a bit about all the thought and planning that goes into each piece. On this particular evening she showcased her stark but feminine 1920’s design for Tallman’s “Intimate Letters.” Dancer Meredith Strathmeyer always gets the skirts with the most fabric and movement, the kind that make you want to spin around like you’re 5 years old, and her dress certainly had a life force and personality of its own. I can’t wait to see what’s in the works for “Gone West!”
