Stewart Blackwood
Slow No Wake - Maelstrom Collaborative Arts 2024
Summary of Production
Co-Creator: Nathan Geronimo
​
This piece was inspired by a mutual love for Lake Erie. The lake; a piece of the natural world, was created by the journey of an ancient glacier. Over time, it has been integrated into civilization, and here the interaction between nature and humanity inspires powerful feelings. This connection between nature and humanity is inescapable and simultaneously very spiritual. In this performance, Nathan & Stewart bring this connection to the forefront of the audience’s mind. To do this they focused on creating audio and visuals directly inspired by and captured at Lake Erie. During the piece, both artists mix visual & sound elements while making adjustments live. This collaboration make each performance feel as organic as possible.
