and Alexis have worked together previously, enjoying the stark rawness
of the unaccompanied classical vocals that provide a platform for the
choreography, a sonorous stage that demands the need of movement. This
piece embraces both classical and modern sensibilities, creating a sinuous
flow of vocals and movement, one interdependent on the other. Voice:
Piangero, George Frideric Handel performed by Alexis Palmer Karl. Dance:
