WORDS

backmaskingtape

the lobster hat

whale under the bed

when will you meet

that outshines the sun

no smoking in public spaces

how to fire your dad

go buy a dog

on being invisible

chasing tornadoes

bugs bunny discovers america

the gospel according to saint bastard

pictures for my father

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A celebration of 60 to 90 minutes of music and storytelling using  different styles of music and movement Jazz, Rock and Gospel and Brazilian rhythms within the underlying precision and format of drum corps.  There are no stops and the action and movement will continue throughout the show.  The physical requirements for this piece are strenuous.  The storytelling consists of a series of monologues with the musical selections as counterpoints.  The monologues highlight some on my experiences from childhood to adulthood.  Some grew out of the song that accompanies the monologue and are purely fictional.   Hopefully,  all touch on the universal points that we all share in life.   Through music, whether we listen to it or perform it, our understanding is enhanced.  My elevator speech on the description of the show boils down to, "It's a half-time show performed inside with dancing and storytelling.   It's loud, it's funny, it's touching and uplifting but mostly, it's loud."
