/24-7PressRelease/ - LEVITTOWN, PA, October 05, 2005 - In a statement issued by producer Andrew Hanna at At Hand Productions, states that he is nearing completion of the music to the first Tableau of Erotica. As reported before, Hanna started creating Erotica in the Spring of 2005. The libretto was completed in early summer and now as the completion of the music of the first tableau nears, the projected time frame of completion of the entire production is ahead of schedule. It was first reported that the entire creation of Erotica was to be at the end of 2005, now the new projected date is the beginning of November.
"Lately I've been having time to create Erotica without interruption and has led me to explore music in different ways that I've not done before. In some respects, I'm trying to use a small ensemble that has the complexity and power of a large orchestra," Hanna says. Hanna's productions have been known for creating excitement and interest amongst various demographics. "Part of exploring this conceptual idea of having a small ensemble project the same kind of power and intricacies of and orchestra came from my love and understanding of Igor Stravinsky's Petrouchka and The Rite of Spring. Those pieces have inspired me to explore the collective arts."
At Hand Productions officially began in January 2005 with its earliest origins dating back several years subsequent. It has set out to bring concerts and theatrical events to its audiences. Many of At Hand Productions' performances are designed by CEO and production manager Andrew Hanna. Some of Hanna's more known pieces include 'Prophecies of War', 'Values', and 'My Journal'. At Hand Productions is unique for its use of collective arts to portray its themes. In 'Prophecies of War', one will hear progressive rock, fusion, and spoken word. Along with these musical elements, 'Prophecies of War' uses video to give further depth to the production. 'My Journal', like 'Prophecies of War', uses much of the same elements, but unlike 'Prophecies of War', 'My Journal' incorporates movement and speech into the scheme. Furthermore, 'My Journal' uses an orchestra to create the musical atmosphere.
Andrew Hanna began his professional development in 1998 when he went to the conservatory in Philadelphia, PA. While at the conservatory, Hanna developed a unique way of creating performance art that placed him on the vanguard. Since graduating from UARTS in 2002 with a BM, Andrew has continued pushing and developing new productions in performance art. He recently completed My Journal.
