Our name, Mixed Precipitation, comes from my personal experience as a year round biker. I found that whenever I heard the words ‘mixed precipitation’ in the local forcast it meant the worst biking weather imaginable! Slush, rain, sleet, snow and ice—precipitation that exists between solid and liquid forms–slowing me down on my daily commutes!
My aversion turned to affection as I began considering how I was consistently drawn to genre bending performance work that can defy description.
In this type of work, I have found that the live experience can have distinct social potential as it invites multiple forms of human interaction–singing, dancing, dining, exploring.
Our goal is to present short form projects that encourage exploration of space (public, private and civic) and collaboration across disciplines. With a varied group of performers, each summer we present our signature event, the annual community garden tour and the picnic operetta, bringing together classical music, horticulture and food in a celebration of the urban eco-system.
In the future you can expect work of a similar nature:
Wagner’s The Ring Cycle presented in melodramatic installments for Vikings tailgaters. (Fall 2011)
William Schumann’s A Mighty Casey (an oratorio based on Casey at the Bat) presented outside Target Field (unknown)
