Intersection: a spoken word opera
We are wandering amongst ourselves
in a dark corner of brightness,
balancing on sidewalk stage lights.
At a bus stop in anywhere urban Seattle Intersection is a soup & sandwich moment served on daily lifes ever changing menu. We cross paths with others on the street everyday, caught in the storyline of our own mind but what is going on in the lives of the people we pass? What brought them to this moment? How does our smile, our simple greeting of hello, or lack there of impact their own day-to-day? Who are these strangers and what are we to them?
Through the combination of spoken word, modern dance, original jazz, blues and soul music Intersection is a new kind of performance art. Poetry speaks the heart, dance & music move us into recognition of the shared experience of urban existence. The three mediums together bring and undeniable synergy of feel to our unexamined sidewalk life.
Intersection includes a large cast of artists all amazing in their distinct fields. Featuring the original compositions of jazz artist and composer Dave Marriott, the oak-strong rhythms of bassist Lamar Lofton, the percolating tunes of Tom Miller, and the soulful songs of Flora McGill the music will be anything but background. Dancer/Choreographers Sarah Parton & Adrienne White will share the poetics of movement to enlighten this sidewalk scene, bringing the spoken word of Angel Latterell, Amber Flame, and Seattle's own Spoonman to the narrative crescendo that is nothing less than opera.
Intersection will be an experience open for all to breathe into their recognition pours. As an accessible interaction drawing from what we all think and feel.
