Howard Hughes is dead. Howard Hughes is ill. Howard Hughes is in Las Vegas. (2017)

Choreographer: Carley Conder Breaking Ground. Tempe Center for the Arts (January 2017) DANCEFEST. Phoenix Art Museum (April 2017) VISION. Capitol Theater, SLC, Utah (September 2021) "Carley Conder’s new work, inspired by a Joan Didion essay, uses Howard Hughes’ mythical persona to explore “the perils of communication and connection.” It’s a more abstract form of storytelling, fueled largely by Hughes’ eccentricities, which are reflected in movements that range from complete body tremors to a mime’s take on smoking a cigarette with faux sophistication. Conder often explores issues of identity, and her latest iteration is wildly entertaining." - Lynn Trimble, Phoenix New Times https://vimeo.com/786808968
