A Book Club Gives Birth To Dance
Chicago choreographer Winifred Haun on her new full-length piece, Promise: "I first got the idea when I read [Steinbeck's] East of Eden in 2003 as part of a mother's book club." But she didn't stick closely to the original: "The book is very masculine. It's all about the men and the activities of the men and the violence of the men." She's focused on two underdeveloped female characters. Flavorwire 10/07/09
