CMA can't make the world your oyster, but we can make it your stage. From
the luminous spirit of an international festival to the robust durability
of a museum installation, CMA's strengths for powerful conception and
dramatic design have transformed public spaces around the world. Charlie's
career as a proven audience-pleaser and playful provocateur, joined to
decades of practical wisdom, ensures a public expereince -- celebration,
festival, interactive presentation -- that burns brightly, then lingers
in the mind.
The grand arena of public events, of course, demands much more than imaginative
boldness. Good intentions alone won't coordinate hundreds of performers,
vast audiences, or negotiate with the sometimes competing interests of
participating institutions and municipalities. To these special practical
challenges, CMA brings agile production strategies and a deft knowledge
of the rules of a complex game. No public setting is too vast or distant,
no technical challenge too complex, no bureaucratic labyrinth too daunting.
Some of the our events that
have taken place over large environments include:
Toot 'N Blink Chicago
with two fleets of boats conducted by radio DJ commands;
produced by New Music Chicago.
Citywave Copenhagen
with 2000 costumed musical peformers,
clowns, boats, helicopter, church bells, building lights, and police;
produced by KIT/Copenhagen International Theatre Festival.
The Finale for the World Cup Soccer Games in Los
Angeles
a co-design and production of Radio City
Music Hall Productions.
