Ride the Cyclone
In Ride the Cyclone, the lives of six teen chamber choir singers are cut short in a freak roller coaster accident. Stuck in the afterlife, a mechanical fortuneteller gives them a chance to sing their way back to earth. This quirky, edgy cult musical is part comedy, part tragedy, wholly enchanting, and will make you feel great about being alive!
Role of Projections
The role of the video is to both transport the audience and performers into the world of the warehouse where the students will be competing in a game for their live as well as gift each of them the experience of their wildest dreams that they never got to experience in the living world before they cross into the other realm. The projections are fully integrated into the physical world and are intrinsically connected to scenery, lighting, sound, and costumes.
