Month: April 2017

 

A lot of excitement on the horizon for May and June as I create a new multi-media piece and workshop in conjunction with the Hear Our Voice Exhibit traveling to Asheville. I am honored to have the opportunity to work with the Asheville Art Museum on this project and bring Moving Voices to the exhibit space. Please see the info below for the multi-media performance on June 2nd.

Moving Voices: A Multimedia Movement Performance
JUNE 2 – Friday, 6:30 p.m.
Free

Choreographer Kathleen Meyers Leiner and guest dancers respond to the powerful graphic works now on view in the Gallery On the Slope with an exploration of the voice as expressed through movement. This work recognizes the power of the creative process and honors the diversity found in the body as our artistic instrument.

Planned in conjunction with Hear Our Voice.

 

The Mystery of Edwin Drood took over my winter months with a culminating performance on February 23rd, 24th, and 25th. Musical theater comes into my life every other year as I co-direct, choreograph, dress sets and create costumes for Asheville School’s musical productions. The adventure is always an interesting departure from my usual work and this time with a cast of 33 it was an extravaganza of Victorian costumes dancing across the stage. Drood was a wonderful success with talented students, an 11 piece professional orchestra, and amazing music and drama direction by John Crawley.
