Something unique in Friday 26th! Co-create with musicians through dance when the lively energetic musical group Moving Edge Ensemble will bring their unusual improvisational style to the Hub. Building off the energy of the dancers in the room dancers, this collaboration between improvisational musicians, synthesizing elements of jazz, funk, rock, reggae, classical, salsa and world music, means that no two Moving Edge performances are ever the same because everything is created by and for the moment.
Jonathan Best (keyboard/vocalist) says,’ I always feel like I am walking on the edge of a precipice, never knowing what will happen next, except that I must always keep my attention completely on the moment and all the listeners, dancers and musicians.’
Originally formed in 2002 to create music for a community-based improvisational dance performance, they’ve been playing, in slightly shifting configurations, for dancers and for dramatic events, ever since. For this performance, the group will consist of Jonathan Best on keyboards and vocals, David Sorenson and Tom Fleischner on all manner of drums and percussion, and Charlie Myers on bass.
The performance/dance is described as the music coming from the movements of the dancers and from the cells of our bodies where all music from all time is stored. This particular improv music comes from the air of the moment.’
So bring your dance shoes and come and make it happen. Experience interconnectedness as a complete organism fully alive, shifting and shaping across the room. This is an experience and opportunity to play for all ages.
Meet the artists – Adele Seronde, Edie Dillon, Cazaubon Seronde and Eveline Horelle Dailey – enjoy the art with a glass of wine and be a key part of creating the music at this special dance party 7-10pm.($10 at the door.)
