Chet Sketches by Amanda Egan

Chet sketches is a solo based on the life and music of Jazz legend Chet Baker. The choreography aims to capture the duality of Chet’s life and career while also taking audience members on a separate journey of love, loss and celebration. The movement is largely Jazz-based but also features elements of Ballet and Modern dance.
