CLEARLY
Matthew Coley and Valerie Williams
SONIC INERTIA
Keith Kutz and the ISU Gaffer’s Guild
Imagine over 100 pieces of glass assembled or hanging in a space to produce music.
And musicians and dancers all around filling the space with visual and aural color.
And video reacting to the performers and the audience.
And wind chimes so abundant that you have to touch them to navigate through the flowing maze.
And fabric and lights so captivating that you will forget the way out.
CLEARLY will be an installment of acoustic, choreographic, electronic, translucent, and optic wonder!
