Meredith Monk

I just saw her perform this past weekend.

The show was so... warm and engulfing that I feel asleep. It wasn't at all because it was boring. It was just so warm and comfortable. She had warm colors on stage, the movement was very limited to just walking and a little bit of dancing, and there were happy projections circling around the auditorium the whole time.

It isn't until after you see her show that you realize what you've just seen.

And I was asleep for half of it so you can't ask me what was on stage.

But it's rare that I'll fall asleep to a song. The chords seem weird but it's so enveloping. The voices had a warm, round tone and it was just... I don't know. Just so pretty.

This isn't the show that I saw because I think the on I saw was a commissioned work, but here's a look into the kooky and brilliant world of Meredith Monk.
