RESIDENT ARTISTS

Project being workshopped at Chelsea Factory:
Circulo de Voces

“My most recent work in progress, Circulo de Voces is a public performance piece of new music and a public activation with the audience reimagining the choir as a public service. In Circulo the choir gives voice to memory, new futures and a living archive. While in residence at Chelsea Factory, I will stage an immersive live performance and create visual media of my new music informed by Circulo de Voces. In this work I question what a fully embodied performance and music making process looks like, engage the audience in collective voicing and seek my body-voice.”
