DESCRIPTION:
"Fire Slide:Clear Sky" was presented by the Institute for Creative Music and special guests as part of a unique fusion of musical improvisation, movement, and storytelling. Dancing About Architecture presented new musical compositions, text, and dance written for works of visual art including M.C. Escher’s “Ascending and Descending” as well as the renovated church that hosted the event (now St. Joseph’s Park). The pieces were tied together with short stories and musical improvisations that encouraged the audience and performers to interact with the environment as they moved to new areas of the park for different vantage points. Featured performers from the Institute for Creative Music included Nick Finzer (trombone and electronics), Chris Ziemba (keyboards and melodica), Matthew Golombisky (bass, electronics), Chris Teal (drums and percussion), and Tyler Cassidy-Heacock (voice and spoken word), Danny Ziemann (bass), and Oliver Haynes (trumpet). The IfCM performers were joined by dancer and choreographer Jay O’Leary, recently featured at the 2015 TedxFlourCity conference along with the IfCM and other Rochester innovators.
