Visaudio Indoor 2018 (Original Versions)

"There is an energy in each of us, ready to connect us all—all you need... is a spark!" This show starts off using electrical sparks as the catalyst for motivating musical and visual ideas around the floor, between the performers, with energy steadily building over the course of the entire opening production. "That moment when you feel a connection with another." The second section is about spark we feel when we meet that special someone. The closing section of the show is about how a simple idea can spark a movement that spreads across the world. This production, which is full of energy, is sure to excite your members and audience alike!

The prefix "Un" completely changes what a word means. This show explores just a few of those "Uns."

Un (A Class)

Using the idea of sinking in water as a metaphor for dealing with depression, this show is sure to impact anyone who experiences it. With the gradual sinking to the bottom and triumphant rise to the top, this show would be a great vehicle for exploring a greater and mature emotional palette with your ensemble.

Originally commissioned by Pioneer Indoor who was the 2015 WGI PIO Silver Medalist.

Into The Deep (World Class)

This is a show that is about how children in war-stricken countries are affected by the events that surround them, and unfortunately become enveloped in the horror and atrocities of war. The story is conveyed via prose, that references war being contained in a box. "Bound up with chains and locked with locks, and labeled 'kindly do not touch... it's war.'"

The Box (Open Class)

Exhausted from putting the finishing touches on his famous piano piece, "Fϋr Elise", the romantic composer, Ludwig Von Beethoven, dozes off into a nightmarish slumber.  Fully aware of his inevitable hearing loss, Beethoven manifests an evil version of himself (played by the center snare), which torments him throughout his dream.  The evil manifestation plays games with the comatose Beethoven; at one point even mocking his hearing loss by having the battery section fake playing while a sampler plays low frequency drum notes.  Famous quotes from Beethoven's 5th and 9th symphonies, as well as his famous "Moonlight Sonata" are twisted and distorted through the use of modern styles such as rock, dubstep, hip-hop, and many others. The evil chaos culminates as all of these different styles and quotes converge.  As the turmoil reaches its peak, it is abruptly halted, Beethoven wakes up from his nightmare, and he finishes his work.

Beethovens Nightmare

This production at its very essence is about the idea of being in a world where conformity and being societal clones are commonplace. Sometimes it takes the introduction of something different—in this case an antagonist in the form of a flower wielding individual. The struggle between conformity and individuality are the forefront elements. If you want a sophisticated, modern, fresh production for your ensemble, and are up to the challenge, this show is for you!

ALiKE (World Class)

Cavernous echoes, searching for treasure, and a thrilling escape are all parts of this show about a descent into a mysterious cave. The explorers start their apprehensive journey, slowly gaining comfort with their surroundings, but perhaps they get a little too comfortable. They eventually trigger a collapse, causing the performers to scramble to survive. With tons of variety, this show is sure to be memorable on all fronts!

Spark (World Class)

In short, this is a show about skydiving. The first section focuses on that rush of pure adrenaline that you feel you finally make the decision to jump out of a perfectly good airplane into free fall. The second section is about the almost serene state of being in suspended in the air, surround by clouds and soaring above the earth. The closing movement is about the feeling you have when you start to get closer to the earth, and the feeling of uncertainty as to whether or not your parachute will open. Though the concept is simple, there is a wide variety of moods that will provide your ensemble with a great vehicle for expressive playing and visual possibilities!

A Leap of Faith (A Class)
