Walking in the City Premiere. National Sawdust, Brooklyn
Brooklyn composer and drummer Chase Elodia presents the world debut of his interdisciplinary project Walking in the City, which illustrates Brooklyn in words and music. To create the piece, Elodia invited eight intergenerational, multiracial, and transcultural writers from across Brooklyn to submit a text inspired by the experience of walking down a street in their neighborhood. The finished work sets their poetry to music, surrounding their words about life in the borough with sampled texts, field recordings, and drum harmonies. At the performance, each poet will read their work as Elodia plays live-triggered melodies and rhythms. With Chase Elodia, Marissa Davis, Bernard Ferguson, Felice Belle, Dennis Nurkse, Anthony Thomas Lombardi, Danilo Machado, and Zakia Henderson-Brown.
