High Zero

All teachers lead double lives.

Mine is as an improvised music festival organizer. And that festival happens this weekend in Baltimore.

If you are around town, check out the High Zero Festival at Theatre Project. This is the 11th year of the fest which teams up free improv musicians from across the globe together in one-of-a-kind ensemble performances.

The performances are ecstatic and eclectic and way out-of-compartment in scope and ambition; you get to take part in the experience of seeing musicians really go out on a limb -- sometimes managing a precarious leap to a hitherto unknown branch and sometimes missing.

It's an exhilarating experience and we like to think it's pretty darn unforgettable.
