Blue Like Jazz // Live -
Launch
Based
on the book Blue Like Jazz by acclaimed author Donald
Miller, Blue Like Jazz // Live is an
innovative and revolutionary theatrical multimedia
production developed and performed by Jason
Hildebrand.
It is
a personal, raw and humorous reflection on spirituality,
God, and community. Blue Like Jazz // Live is an
honest and unexpected journey - a scrapbook of one man's
life.
The
solo performance incorporates the use of video and
computer-generated motion graphics, designed by Storystream
Media Initiative (storystream.com). The graphics feature
imagery rooted in Miller's book and provide a backdrop for
the main action. Also featured an original jazz music
soundscape by Juno award winning musician Paul Neufeld
(paulneufeld.ca).
Blue
Like Jazz author Donald Miller is set to attend the May
launch, and do a book signing.
