Walking Alone
A short, experimental opera created in December of 2020. A young woman suffers in isolation before being led on journey by diety manifestations of nature and the psyche.
Spending the first year of COVID with my family in our home by Wissahicken Park in Philadelphia, I underwent a process of creative renewal and a return to play. For me the value of this work lies in the manifestation of some of my most fundamental expressive instincts and provides a formal armature for future performance endeavors.
