Program Notes –
Tidal work puts into action a relational practice that grown from conversation, trust, togetherness, disagreement, and dissent – a practice of being together through body and voice.
This work lives, graciously, at the edge of my authorship. Where worlds affirm and refute one another. I chose this title, Tidal because my increasing awareness of who I am, and how I have come to act in relationship/s has greatly shifted in scale.
Tidal is a collision of our future bodies with song. I have written music that traces points in my lineage, some recent and some distant or barely imagined. These are the bones that hold our landscape together, crooning, clamoring polyphony, swelling and disintegrating all at once.
