Adding to the loveliness of this evening is the beautiful Madeline McNeill. She performs and sings with a feral sensuality that fully engages the body. She is also a body philosopher and developed a methodology for focusing on the core muscles as the landscape for exploring philosophical questions. Through music, Madeline communicates how she is a body and how she conceptualizes deep human experiences as body processes. Madeline's recent project is a new electronic opera "I Body" funded by an Artist Trust GAP (Grants for Artists Projects).
