Coldblooded, On Ice
Directed and Co-Produced by Alicia Hall Moran
at Leddy Park Arena
About
Alicia Hall Moran's Coldblooded combines wisdom from the worlds of skating and music in this fresh take on community, movement, and Art writ large. Growing up, Hall Moran's hobbies were figure skating (she was on a synchro team called The Shadows) and music (singing in choirs and studying piano since the age of 5). Her passions seemed to collide on ice in 1988: when American Debi Thomas skated on Olympic ice to music from the opera Carmen, and East Germany's Katerina Witt did the same! Known in sports as the Battle of the Carmens, for a teenage Alicia, it cemented her passions into one.
With a taste for quicksilver musicians like herself, Hall Moran has gathered Jazz' Tony Scherr on bass and guitar, New music's James Moore on guitar, educator and improviser Eleonore Oppenheim on upright bass and mandolin, and electronic music innovator and drummer LaFrae Sci. On the skate side, Moran's audiences will be treated to interpretative ice dance by Hall Moran's long-time collaborators, Ice Theatre of New York.
Coldblooded for Burlington Jazz Festival, celebrates the techniques of Jazz and the recent release of Hall Moran's third album, Coldblooded, released this Spring. This live on-ice musical performance features players from the album and all of the album's 13 original songs were written over the course of Hall Moran's skating adventures on ice rinks across the Northeast U.S. The music will be performed on ice, and intrepid audiences are invited to sit on the ice in chairs. The show is 45 minutes followed by a free-skate with Alicia Hall Moran and special guests to be announced!
