Taking their successful and groundbreaking dance-music-theater work to new levels, award-winning choreographers Janice Garrett and Charles Moulton will present the world premiere of "Speak, Angels", a new evening-length work for 36 dancers, singers and instrumentalists, July 28-31 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater. Following the sold-out success of their 2014-15 production of The Luminous Edge, Garrett and Moulton continue their work with large-scale, multi-genre performances, once again collaborating with Composer/Bass Clarinetist Jonathan Russell and contralto Karen Clark. Twenty-four dancers-including a "movement choir"-are joined by five singers and an ensemble of instrumental musicians in a work celebrating the providential voices that guide us through our lives.
"Speak, Angels investigates the sudden, unforeseen moments of illumination that provide essential guidance and support at key moments of our lives. It celebrates our innate capacity to access reservoirs of spiritual strength when faced with hardship and suffering," say Garrett and Moulton.
A hallmark of Garrett and Moulton's work is their dedication to live music. In this production, they expand that commitment by adding five singers from the Bay Area vocal group Vajra Voices to their existing ensemble of seven musicians. Composer/Bass Clarinetist Jonathan Russell is assembling a full-length score featuring his own original compositions as well as music by other traditional and contemporary composers, including Gustav Mahler, Zoltan Kodaly and Marc Mellits.
