Program Notes
Expand, Contract, Breathe, Weep, Bellow consists of amplified hums, buzzes, drones, whistles, clicks, taps, scrapes, and air, all layered and arranged to gradually transform initial stillness and reserve into unbridled and cathartic release. The work was inspired by and designed to accompany movement by UNLV choreographer Cathy Allen.
