Morning Shower
Participatory Performance
April 23rd, 2025
8:30 am - 9:30 am
42 St Bryant Park - 5 Av

Responding to the unique conditions of the corridor between the F and 7 lines at 42nd Street during the morning rush hour, I created an unscripted passage of sound in which participants chanted vowel tones, each in their own way. There was no score.

I was captivated by the acoustics of the space and the steady flow of commuters heading to work. My aim was to activate the movement inherent in the site. The vowels echoed through the corridor, reshaping the mundane into a space of shifting, heightened perception.

The Watermill Center, NY 
The Annual Summer Benefit

Performance
20 choirs
An installation performed by twenty vocalists chanting in unison creates an immersive, enveloping soundscape that the audience pass through one at a time.

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.
