For the 07 / 08 season, black ice is excited to perform
an original long program created by renowned Canadian choreographer,
David Wilson, set to Money by Pink Floyd.
Opening with an unrecognizable, orchestrated version, the
music swells in anticipation… then the legendary “ka-ching”
of the cash register echoes throughout the arena. Portraying
the work-a-holic businessman, the skaters empty their pockets
of middling change as the classical version succumbs completely
to Money’s infamous guitar riff. In the midst of the
three-spoke wheel the businessman begins to realize that money
is the root of all evil, yet desperately, he makes one last
grab. The skaters let the music pulse through them as they
rock out to the intoxicating beat. Strutting into a traveling
parallel wheel, the businessman regains his composure as he
recognizes that he already has all the riches he needs. Calmness
prevails during moves in the field but an excitement builds
to celebrate that there is more to life than money. As the
music comes to a dizzy crescendo, it is clear that black ice
has a captivating long program that will keep the audience
ka-chinging for a while.
