In my senior year I was cast in A Christmas Carol as the Blind Old Hag/ Ghost of Christmas Future. This was an exploration of how to tell a story physically. The hag has a couple solo moments in the opening number and finale, but the ghost does not speak. It is a role that is meant to be danced. Much of the movement was self choreographed and improvised for the scene by me and the woman I was double cast alongside.
