So as difficult as it is, you can’t make mistakes. If you make mistakes, they will be really obvious. It’s something that I obsessed over. I’ve worked so hard at it, to the point that I know I’ve never really missed any notes, but I have flubbed rhythms, or I have flubbed an attack or an entrance, which is just as detrimental as missing a note. I get increasingly fastidious; that’s what generates the stress. That’s what generates the fear of failure. One works very hard to achieve a standard with a piece. All eyes are on you. You’re in a little bit of a foreign environment with an orchestra. You’re being placed within an environment where the standard is so high. I feel like I’m having to represent the instrument. The way I feel about the piece (is that) it’s a vehicle, not just for me, but for my profession. And going forward, for composers who haven’t yet done anything for the instrument, I like to think this is a turning point, where other composers will be able to take that chance.

Lisa Shiveley, the executive director of Menlowe Ballet, has known Lowe since she was a young dancer in the East Bay and took classes from him. They became friends, and in 2011 when Lowe decided to form a company, she readily agreed to take on the business side of the project. Shiveley says Lowe likes to describe himself as the only artistic director with a Mohawk. Despite the unconventional look, the choreographer has a calm, wise presence, and at 60 years old, he is a well-known figure in the Bay Area dance scene.
