This Concert Walk is the grand finale for Casey Moir’s master studies in experimental composition. It will take performers and listeners through multiple adjoining spaces that are transformed through sound, art, and motion. This experience is an active one that invites you, the listener, to be mobile and make choices about what direction you’re facing, the pace you keep and the path you take through the changing soundscapes.
The voice and the body are central to the collection of works being presented. The voice is emotive, primal, ancient. It is a dialogue between the inner and outer, with identity, self and other. It generates actual, figurative, and social resonance. It is silent. It is loud. It is action. It is felt. It is vocal. It is visceral. It knows our fears and our desires. It has existed since the dawn of time. It has so much to say and has said so much already.
Throughout this walk, the voice works symbiotically with the body, embodying and communicating gesture, emotion, intuition, and narrative in this sounding discovery of the evocative power of the voice.
