Fo(u)r Women

Abstract This piece is about Fo(u)r Women, a collaborative poly-vocal performance piece featuring music, poetry, prose and movement. It traces the journey from feeling through idea to actualization of a collaborative creative project: how to make a piece of Live Art from the experience of listening to a Nina Simone song and three lives. Dream, breath, hope, wish, act a prayer to you to reach out to touch Four women made flesh in a place of revelation.· In the essay, I explore aspects of process, collaboration, critical context and issues informing the art. Issues of race, gender, sexual identities, relationships, love and place. Dear reader, for those of you at home, it's like you were there, all the time it was being made. But to feel the show, you really have to see it.
