Sacred Sounds: Penelope Freeh on Cellular Songs by Meredith Monk & Vocal Ensemble
"Don’t be fooled by the ethereal, they are grounded in their soft power." Dance artist Penelope Freeh reflects upon Cellular Songs by Meredith Monk & Vocal Ensemble, a work that Monk said she created "as an antidote to the values that are being propagated right now."
Repeat Cycles: Meredith Monk on Voice, #MeToo, and Recurring History
Born in the late years of the Second World War, Meredith Monk has seen it all—14 presidents; six major US wars; the birth of the modern Civil Rights, anti-war, and environmental movements; 9/11; Black Lives Matter; #MeToo; Donald Trump. Through it all, the multifaceted artist says she has been responding through her art to events in the world—but rarely through words. Here, as she returns to Minneapolis to perform in Cellular Songs, she discusses how she has engaged with a tumultuous world through her art.
