June 2013 : Invisible River

As a part of the Hidden City Festival, Invisible River was a site-specific performance of song, sculpture, and soaring ballet above the Schuylkill River.
The project advocated for the health of the Schuylkill River and promoted education about how to create a more sustainable, swim-able and drinkable river.
A choir of nine singers performed compositions by Elliott Miskovicz (A Stick and A Stone) while dancers turned the 116 year old Strawberry Mansion Bridge into a trapeze theater, with an aerial ballet of two dancers swinging and interacting from the bridge on their way to submerge into the Schuylkill River.

Howler

“Howler” was A Stick And A Stone’s contribution to Erik Ruin’s “Drowning on Dry Land”

Drowning On Dry Land is a 48 page silkscreen booklet, made from apocalyptic ink drawings & papercuts by Erik Ruin. The booklet features a soundtrack compilation of thematically-relevant unreleased music. “Drowning…” is subtitled, “A Lament from the Margins”, as it is made from drawings printed in the margins of Witches & Mad Prophets: 13 Heretics.
