Caliban Ascendant is a chamber work for players and dancers, inspired by Shakespeare's
The Tempest with music by Ty Alan Emerson and choreography by Bill Wade. Shakespeare's play is filled with intrigue and vengeance, but also touches on the themes of colonization, oppression, and cultural appropriation. This work utilizes a string trio,
flute and piano and a large battery of percussion. The music is cast utilizing a variety of style and colors to create characters and describe actions.
