Columbia University School of the Arts MFA Theatre Program, Fairytales and Other Stories that Scare Me, a dream ballet by Rebecca Miller-Kratzer. “The piece explores the building blocks of our subconscious, the stories that feed us, and our desire for control within dreams. Using fragments from stories that have long held the creator in her grip -The Little Matchstick Girl, Bluebeard's Castle, The Yellow Wallpaper, and Baba Yaga -Fairytales & Other Stories that Scare Me tracks one woman's trajectory from childhood to maturity. This is a story about freedom, womanhood, intuition, and the questions we ask ourselves in the dark”
