Art as an Experience
The Annual Summer Benefit
July 27, 2024
Performance
20 choirs
Presented as part of the Watermill Center’s Annual Summer Benefit, the work functioned as a transitional space, situated between everyday life and the realm of art. I referenced the Japanese tea ceremony's "Roji," in between an entrance and a tea room. To reach the main event area, guests walked through the piece, their senses immersed in layered vocal tones. The soundscape served to wash away the residue of daily life, preparing them for the heightened experience of the evening.
