Reposted from @tamar_kali THE JOURNEYβ¦
Itβs been 4 years of investigation, inspiration, divination, exploration, reconsideration, revision, immersion, isolation, revelation, frustration, divergence, reformation, persistence, patience, resilience and transcendence.
I will be relieved to have this music and the voices of these characters in the world, embodied by a brilliant cast and ensemble. Sweet deliverance.
Special thanks to our Music Director, @adam_rothenberg for his stewardship.
Big love to brother @jeremiahabiah for coming in as vocal coach.
As my practice expands beyond my hands and voice it is a blessing to work with collaborators who respect the vision and align with the intention of the work I put into the world.
