ECHO GLASS, is part of Danspace Project's "Off-Season" series.
Concetta Abbate‘s Echo Glass compositions are written for vocal quartet. They are an exploration of how partially sighted individuals experience the world through hearing and vibrational touch as their primary senses. The compositional approach was inspired by Concetta’s personal experience of being born with a visual impairment, and echolocation techniques utilized by blind and partially sighted individuals to navigate space. The piece will be sung by the composer themself in collaboration with vocalists Jimmy Kraft, Judette Elliston and Damon Hankoff.
Musicians Skip La Plante (music director for Wendy Osserman Dance Company) and Concetta Abbate will be performing with Wendy Osserman to open the evening.
Echo Glass is a music and dance performance choreographed by Wendy Osserman in collaboration with dancers Cori Kresge and Huiwang Zhang. The piece further considers the ways we might communicate with the natural world including plants, trees and celestial bodies through re-imagining ideas about sense perception.
