Michael
performed two numbers in the popular Art on Ice in Zurich,
Switzerland January 22-24, 2004.
Michael
skated to "Love on the Line", performed live by
Barclay James Harvest. "I received the music about a
month before the show, so I could have time to choreograph
my program," Michael said.
Michael
said many bands were playing live to the skaters' performances.
"The members of Supertramp and Moody Blues were awesome
to hear live," he said.
Also
in the show were "My Dream" artists. They are a
group of Chinese girls who are hearing
impaired, and they dance as one. "Standing in a line
front to back, the 12 girls look like one girl with 24 arms.
It is difficult to explain, but they were in such amazing
unison and always in the perfect position....not one arm the
slightest bit out of position! I guess their attention to
visual detail is a testament to their higher level of awareness
to sight," Michael said.
Mövenpick Art on Ice brings together the world's best
music and skating stars performing amid a spectacular light
show at Zurich's Hallenstadion. Over the past decade the magic
of Art on Ice, a production that originated in Switzerland,
has enchanted thousands of spectators in arenas throughout
Germany and Switzerland and millions more on television.
Stars that have participated in this event include Evgeny
Plushenko, Alexei Yagudin, Surya Bonaly, Denise Biellmann,
Brian Orser, Oksana Kazakova /Artur Dmitriev and many other
champions from around the world.
