Meredith Monk
I just...Holy God in Heaven, Meredith Monk is amazing.
First off, here:
Secondly, a few things she said tonight:
-"Within limitations you are forced to find your own way,"
-Weaving together all the disparate elements [of art] is actually an attempt to weave together a fragmented world.
-Art is a spiritual offering.
-The voice can move like the body: dance, spiral, jump, etc.
-"If you know what you're going to do before you do it, then there's no reason to do it." (in reference to making artistic work)
-There should be no assumptions or expectations about the work.
-The artistic process is from FEAR to MIRACLE.
-Music goes back to the pulse, the blood, and the breath.
-As artists we work with the unnameable.
-What is essential and urgent for you to say?
