As much as we may try to choreograph our lives, some of the best parts are more like improv… even when you’re a choreographer.
Crossing Boundaries
Jarrad Powell (Music ‘83 / Faculty, Music Department) defies the boundaries of musical traditions and forms. A highly complex and prolific artist, he pursues music along seemingly infinite avenues, including instrumental music for western and non-western instruments, vocal music, music for theater, dance and, more recently, film. Jarrad describes himself as “living the complete musical life.” He composes, performs, teaches, writes and builds instruments.
Duet
Lisa Halpern (Theater ‘87), Jose Gonzales (Theater ‘89)
It’s not uncommon to hear jazz music lilting out the front door of the unassuming blue house perched beneath the shade of Seward Park’s maple and magnolia trees. Step through the door, and you’ll find a baby grand piano nestled in the living room, Jose Gonzales (Theater ‘89) behind the keys, and Lisa Halpern (Theater ‘87) standing beside him, her elegant voice filling the room.
