Theme and variation on the Brazilian samba
Restricting the theme to its rhythmic element and subordinating all other elements, the piano is cast in the role of both percussion ensemble and dancers.
"Scarlet was the dominant color effect in Bond’s Batucada, with its sassy dance rhythms and dynamic contrasts." -Register-Guard

Rage is about the turbulent emotions of an abusive relationship. A pas de deux for two dancers, it is an impassioned cry against violence. It portrays a couple imprisoned in a vicious cycle of domination and abuse, first looking at the scene from the position of the perpetrator and then from the viewpoint of the abused, the music alternates between these two extremes.
"Intense, thought-provoking, tragic and violent." -Erie Dance Review

This ballet, designed to be danced while the dancer recites, uses the poem “Working Girls” by Carl Sandburg. The melodic material is based on American folk music and the mood of the five variations range from folk to blues, from ragtime to gospel. "Immediately appealing." -Discovery
