SIC INDUSTRIES
April 1, 2, 3, 2010
In SIC InC’s second annual spring semester show on campus, the group again returned to the Off-Broadway Theater, but changed everything else about their performance. Playing on tiered risers, the musicians were meant to emulate gears in a factory, working together to create a performance that included classical music, heavy beats, striking lights, and evern a vocal number. For this show, SIC InC began performing pieces written by outside sutdent composers, thereby expanding the diversity of their music. The show generated much excitement on campus, and was praised as more artistically mature than SIC InC’s first show, Sic Futuristic.
SIC InC at 2010 LUMINA
March 26, 2010
SIC InC featured in the Yale International Student Organization’s 10th annual cultural show, Lumina.

SIC CITY
January 22, 2010
SIC InC performed their first off-campus show at Trinity High School. This show allowed SIC InC to test their ability to take their entire show on the road, video, lighting, set, microphones and all. The show involved three distinct city scenes, one on a subway car, one in an alley, and one in a nightclub, which SIC InC members portrayed through abstract blocking, with the help of video to set the scene.
SIC InC BEGINS
October 31, 2009
Every year, the Yale Symphony Orchestra performs a concert in Yale’s Woolsey Hall at midnight on Halloween, before an audience of over 2,500 people. In the 2009 Halloween Show, the newly formed SIC InC performed as the YSO’s opening act, immediately capturing the attention of almost half of Yale’s undergraduate population in a single, high-energy performance.
SIC FUTURISTIC
April 23, 24, 25, 2009
Sic Futuristic was the show form which the idea for SIC InC was drawn (and many of the musicians from Sic Futuristic, as well as the core creative team, are now involved with SIC InC). The show was the first of its kind to present contemporary classical music in a high energy setting which used theatrical elements, dance, lighting, and video as means of heightening the audience’s perception of the music. Much of the instrumental music consisted of classical pieces previously composed by Feigenbaum; in Sic Futuristc, these pieces were adapted to
include electronic backing tracks provided by Ellis Ludwig-Leone specifically for the show. Ludwig-Leone also contributed two completely new pieces. Sic Futuristic took place at Yale’s Off Broadway Theater and sold out all 4 performances, receiving a rave review by the Yale Daily News reporter, Nick Niarchos.
again offered SIC InC the opportunity to play for an off-campus audience. Video and lighting and some blocking were all used to heighten the drama of the music, and the show was very well received by teh New York audeicne.
also improvise as they were inspired by the music. The show was immensely popular on campus and sold out online before the first performance.
