BREAKING COUNTERPOINT

Year: 2025

Location:Peabody Conservatory, Baltimore, MD

Breaking Counterpoint, conceived by guitarist and producer Zane Forshee with composer Wendel Patrick, Orange Grove Dance, and director Katherine Helen Fisher of Hyperreal Labs, reimagines Steve Reich’s Electric Counterpoint for the twenty-first century.

This immersive performance merges live guitar, choreography, and computational media to transform algorithmic systems from engines of control into sources of beauty, joy, and collective possibility. Each performance generates a living score—emergent, participatory, and never the same twice.
