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.
Blue Like Jazz // Live is an IMAGO project [imago-arts.on.ca] and offers charitable receipts for all donations. Blue Like Jazz // Live will begin to tour North America and Europe fall 2005. For more information check out: bluelikejazzlive.com.
