While touring Peter & the Wolf & the One Man Band, Gigante Artistic Directors Isabelle Kralj and Mark Anderson were also working with their friend and colleague, Cynthia Thompson, dancer/choreographer and Professor of Dance at James Madison University (Harrisonburg, VA).  Cynthia commissioned Kralj & Anderson to create a performance piece for her, and while in Milwaukee, she was recruited to play the Duck in “Peter & the Wolf & the One Man Band.”
