This performance is a remembering, a return to playfulness, innocence, and joy of the child within. Through an improvised shaping, looping, and sculpting of voice and acoustic sounds captured live, I search for my own heart and let it become visible in the room. This is a practice of becoming transparent to myself and to the space. I hope to inspire others to feel the softness of becoming playful, while facing the challenges of any shadows that lurk in the past. There is a voice that claims our own power in relationship to our past and our present. There is a voice that claims the feelings to be felt, that transforms shadows in the mind to lightness in the present - there is an opportunity to be all that you are, now - knowing and becoming what you want to be.
The performance instrument is custom built software that focuses on capturing and manipulating audio loops. The looping audio is shaped to create polyrhythmic sound environments that hold space for the voice to explore freely.
