Majlis Multidisciplinary Arts: “Figure of Speech” concert photos

Here are some photos of our multidisciplinary concert
on Saturday, August 29. The performers, in order of
appearance in the photos:

 

Hallie Fishel-Verrette
John Edwards
Camille Martin
Gauri Vanarase

 

For my musings on the collaborative experience, please see
yesterday’s post.

 

Hallie and John performing their setting of “this is the tune
that paper sang” (one of my “nursery rhyme” sonnets, based on
“This is the house that Jack built”):

 

My solo reading:

 

Hallie and I performing a “shadowing” setting of
“if you are somewhere.” I read and Hallie “shadowed”
me by singing the same words:

 

Gauri performing “Folia d’Italiana,” accompanied by
Hallie and John on guitars:

 

Hallie, John, and I performing “Does It Take” (Gauri also
performed in this piece). Hallie hummed and John played
guitar while I read, and Hallie sang the last part of the poem;
Gauri performed a haunting interpretation of the poem:

 

Gauri performing “Folia d’españa”:
