Meredith Monk and Vocal Ensemble
- 10AM
Mark Morris Dance Center
Single Tickets
With Ellen Fisher and Katie Geissinger
Co-presented by BAM and Mark Morris Dance Group
In conjunction with Cellular Songs
Two longtime members of Meredith Monk’s vocal ensemble, Ellen Fisher and Katie Geissinger, lead this master class. Participants learn to work with the voice and body as multifaceted instruments for exploring range, timbre, gesture, resonance, character, landscape, and rhythm. After a detailed movement and vocal warm-up, the class moves into specific aspects of Monk's practice and creative process, encouraging an overall experience where the “body sings and the voice dances.”
For dance, music, and theater practitioners
Meredith Monk and her peerless vocal ensemble pair voice with movement, instrumentation, and a site-specific video installation to contemplate the fundamental unit of life and its relation to the universe.
