short program 05 06 My Way  

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.
