What was it like to Learn Dance from Abraham.In.Motion? | UMS presents
Before their final performance at Power Center, on day 6 of their U-M Residency, Abraham.In.Motion lead the You Can Dance workshop at Ann Arbor YMCA Learn more:

See Abraham.In.Motion March 13-14, 2015 Power Center, Ann Arbor:
Kyle Abraham- and Abraham.In.Motion’s work intertwines a sensual and provocative vocabulary with a strong emphasis on sound, human behavior, and all things visual. The company’s work explores Abraham’s diverse training in classical music, visual art, and a multitude of dance forms ranging from ballet to hip-hop. Dance Magazine has described his work as “elastic and electric, luxuriantly rippling, poetically arranged with moments of perfect stillness that arrive amid splashes of expression. His choreography wriggles energy through the body, stretches it, suspends it, and then unleashes it.” His latest work, which will be performed over two different programs, is inspired by the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and civil rights movements in South Africa and the United States. The music includes Max Roach’s epic 1960 jazz work “We Insist! (Freedom Now Suite)” as well as new music written by jazz pianist Robert Glasper and songs by Otis Redding.

Julia Wolfe: With a blue dress on (excerpt), US premiere @ the Bang on a Can Marathon
Fragment from the US premiere of Julia Wolfe's 'With a blue dress on'
for live violin/voice, 4 prerecorded violins & 4 prerecorded voices, performed by one player & one sound designer
Monica Germino, violin/vocals/backing track. Frank van der Weij, sound design.
2013 Bang on a Can Marathon, Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts
The New York Times described the performance as ...a gloriously free and wild fiddle tantrum in which virtuosity and mischief-making went hand in hand.
Complete review: Monica Germino Puts Electronics and Violin Together, and Myriad Sounds Ensue
Chris McGovern, in his wonderful blog The Glass, honored Germino with comparisons to some of her favorite violinists:
Performing the US Premiere of Julia Wolfe’s “With a blue dress on”, violinist Monica Germino basically reminded me of something that combines the homegrown primal music of Iva Bittova with the electro-acoustics of Todd Reynolds or Neil Dufallo. An amazing tour de force of progressive fiddling and paraphrasing.
Rob Deemer listed Germino & Van der Weij as a highlight as well in his blow-by-blow BANG ON A CAN MARATHON 2013 LIVE BLOG on newmusicbox.org:
...the beautiful solo violin performance of Monica Germino. I’ve seen a fair helping of works for solo instrument and electronics, but Julia Wolfe’s With a blue dress on may be my new favorite…a major work for solo violin (expecting the violinist to sing)… Germino was awe-inspiring in her performance of the work and the sound design by Frank van der Weij was just right…definitely one of the highlights of the concert so far.
Julia Wolfe: With a blue dress on (2010) (‘for multiple Monica’s’)
Program Notes:
Drawing inspiration from folk, classical, and rock genres, Julia Wolfe's music brings a modern sensibility to each while simultaneously tearing down the walls between them. Wolfe's music is distinguished by an intense physicality and a relentless power that pushes performers to extremes and demands attention from the audience. In the words of The Wall Street Journal, Wolfe has long inhabited a terrain of [her] own, a place where classical forms are recharged by the repetitive patterns of minimalism and the driving energy of rock. Julia Wolfe is co-founder of New York's music collective Bang on a Can.
My love affair with American folk music began in the 1980s when I lived, studied, and worked in Ann Arbor, Michigan. There I began to play mountain dulcimer, sing, and try out the bones. The folk scene was and still is very rich in Ann Arbor - and I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the culture. As I veered off into more experimental ideas in music the folk threads remained - references in such titles as Four Marys (my first string quartet), Cruel Sister (for string orchestra), and most recently Steel Hammer (an evening length art ballad for trio mediaeval and the Bang on a Can All-Stars). In this work for solo violin/voice and pre-recorded violins the folk roots come to the fore with fiddling licks, fragments of song, and bows deep into the string. I was inspired by a plaintive field recording of a woman singing Pretty little girl with a blue dress on. Her tone was rough and her rhythm irregular. The timing and tempi, or implied tempi, in the piece plays on this irregularity and fluctuation, placing folk-like fragments into a kind of hyper state.”
In the solo version, the player performs with four pre-recorded violin and voice parts.
With a blue dress on was written for Monica Germino and commissioned by the Eduard van Beinum Foundation.

Morehshin Allahyari: On Digital Colonialism, Re-figuring, and Monstrosity
Morehshin Allahyari is an Iranian media artist, activist, educator, and curator who uses computer modeling and digital fabrication techniques to explore the intersection of art and activism. “I want my work to respond, resist, and criticize the current political and cultural situation that we experience on a daily basis,” she explains. Allahyari’s Material Speculation: ISIS, a digital fabrication project that inspects petropolitical and poetic relationships between 3D printing, oil, techno-capitalism, and jihadism, has achieved wide acclaim for proposing 3D printing technology as a tool both for resistance and documentation. The many publications featuring the work include the New York Times, Huffington Post, Wired, NPR, Rhizome, Hyperallergic, Dazed Digital, and VICE. She has exhibited at numerous institutions and festivals throughout the world, including Centre Pompidou, Paris; Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, Australia; Hartware MedienKunstVerein and Transmediale in Germany. Allahyari was recently awarded a 2016 Sculpture Award from the Institute of Digital Art. Allahyari relocated to the United States in 2007 and currently lives in New York.
Supported by the Ann Arbor Film Festival and the University of Michigan Museum of Art.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thank you so much to all of our generous supporters in and around the Michigan A Cappella community, University Activities Center, and to Varsity Vocals. We are thrilled to bring you our ICCA 2018 Set, which represented an incredibly rewarding year for Amazin’ Blue. The set won a number of awards including:
ICCA Quarterfinals 2018 @ Power Center in Ann Arbor, MI
Quarterfinal Champion
Best Arrangement for the Entire Set (Grant Rossi & Jake Smith)
Best Choreography for the Entire Set (Mason Van Gieson)
ICCA Semifinals 2018 @ Auditorium Theater in Chicago, IL
Third Place
Best Solo for “Resolution” (Jake Smith)
Amazin' Blue is dedicated to the pursuit of storytelling through a cappella--sharing narratives that are pertinent in our own lives. ICCA 2018 was no different.
Many of us, and our peers, feel perpetually trapped; trapped by parental expectations, trapped by educational expectations, and trapped by the social expectations of placed upon us by each other. All of these expectations suppress the will of the individual, and as a result, we feel as if we're losing ourselves in a vortex of societal expectations. As we discussed our individual experiences with the group, we collectively realized that our escape from this oppressive monotony is through connection--connection with things we love; a cappella, family, and each other.
Our set is not a tragic one, but a story about recognizing that there are others who understand your plight, and together, you can find catharsis.
