National Sawdust: Marisa Michelson & Miriam Parker
Free
Two co-fellows from National Sawdust's season-long collaboration with the Center for Ballet and the Arts at NYU – composer, performer, and founder of Constellation Chor, Marisa Michelson, and interdisciplinary artist Miriam Parker – connect sound and movement from sacred music to free jazz, Buddhism to divine spirituality. Their digital premiere will explore making visible that which is invisible in the space of human interactions, through Constellation Chor’s “core sounding” practice of channeling impulses, energies and pure emotions (i.e. emotions that arise from the body in the present moment, without narrative attached) into singing and movement. As part of their fellowship, Michelson and Parker will be mentored by acclaimed opera and theater director Yuval Sharon. This event is part of National Sawdust’s Digital Discovery Festival.
The broadcast will take place at 6pm Eastern / 3pm Pacific.
