LEWIS FOREVER IN RESIDENCE
Week 2: Uncovered, an exposé
How much do we really know about LEWIS FOREVER? Rare access has been
obtained revealing the individual members that belong to the myth, the
mystery, the exotified legend of LEWIS FOREVER.
Please email your questions or thoughts by Thursday June 11th, 2009 . Your
curiosity will be quenched on Thursday as your questions and thoughts are
addressed live at the New Museum at 7:00 pm.
LEWIS FOREVER is in residence at the New Museum for the month of June,
presenting new work in progress every Thursday night, responding to your
input, and making up their mind as they go along. Their work is messy, raw,
shockingly informal, and generously inclusive.
LEWIS FOREVER is a performance collective of four siblings: three sisters
and a brother; a director, two dancers, and a musician. Living half in New
York and half in Europe, half Dominican and half Jewish American, LF is both
a performance collective and a bloodline. LF is interested in the family
structure as a site for recasting the molds that shape our understandings of
the world.

The content of LFs residency will focus on the simultaneous development of a
series of a solo projects and a video/live performance project. Throughout,
LF will employ a variety of different strategies for investigating and
expanding this material in front of a live audience. Each presentation will
offer new insights and alterations to the material, which will then inform
the following weeks rehearsals and presentation. The audience will be
involved as observers and critics have the opportunity to participate and
directly interact with LF. LF will use that feedback and respond to it for
each subsequent step. LF will, on certain days, open the rehearsal process
to willing participants in one of many approaches they are investigating to
develop the process of working collectively. Throughout the residency, LF
will explore the process of devising and shaping new material as a
collective and a family, sharing the unique pleasures and challenges of such
a process, while developing new material that will be presented in its
finished form later this year in Berlin.

Nick Hallett—singer, composer, and downtown impresario—creates a four-part
series at the New Museum theater connecting the human voice to multimedia
ritual. Performances are every Thursday in May at 7pm.
On Thursday, May 28, Halletts monthlong residency ends tonight with a new
multimedia ritual created by Auroville, a tribute band to the experimental
community dedicated to the guru Sri Aurobindo on the southeastern coast of
India, founded by his spiritual partner, known as the Mother. Auroville is
performed as an immersive, audiovisual travelogue by a collective of
musicians and multimedia artists, featuring Hallett, Ana Matronic, Seth
Kirby, Zach Layton, Brock Monroe, and Ray Sweeten. A wraparound projection
design will set the stage for Halletts chanting and electronic music while
Matronic performs on the glass armonica, an integrated series of glass
bowls, popularized as a musical instrument by Benjamin Franklin. Hallett and
Matronic, alongside performing artists Caitlin Kirby, Renée Soucy and
Juan-Carlos Castro, act as celebrants for a universal ritual of art, devoid
of specific icons or dogmas (much like its namesake in India). Sound design
and electro-acoustics by Jeff Cook. This performance will make heavy use of
stroboscopic imagery.
RE:NEW RE:PLAY continues in June with a new residency from LEWIS FOREVER.

Nick Hallett—singer, composer, and downtown impresario—creates a four-part series at the New Museum theater connecting the human voice to multimedia ritual. Performances are every Thursday in May at 7pm.
On Thursday, May 21, Hallett premieres a new composition, "Whispering Exercises", for womens voices (Katie Eastburn, Rachel Henry Rachel Mason, Daisy Press), harp (Shelley Burgon), and electronic pulsations generated from customized software created by Ray Sweeten, with sound design by Zach Layton. This is a concert version of music currently being developed for a new opera created by Hallett and the video and performance artist Shana Moulton, Whispering Pines 10, to premiere at The Kitchen in Spring 2010. Folk song forms such as rounds and hockets are layered over electronic arpeggiations, in addition to acoustic phenomena such as Shepard Tones (a series of rising pitches which elicits feelings of weightlessness), while lumia and oscillographics float throughout the space.
Nick Halletts residency continues on May 28 with Part Four: Auroville.

Nick Hallett—singer, composer, and downtown impresario—creates a four-part series at the New Museum theater connecting the human voice to multimedia ritual. Performances are every Thursday in May at 7pm.
Nick Hallett begins his residency tonight with a selection of songs from Meredith Monks "Our Lady of Late", a cycle for solo voice and wineglass drone, written in 1972 and rendered as a concert piece by the composer a year later. The performer begins by singing in unison with the fingered glass, then gradually diverging from the pitch in microtonal increments, which results in the phenomenon of beats, rhythmic pulses that are created in the interference patterns of two waveforms. Eventually, vibrato is added into the mix. In this way, "Our Lady of Late" introduces its audience to extended vocal technique, wherein the singer explores a diverse vocabulary of sounds and performative states. Halletts interpretation—working within the composers clearly defined parameters—incorporates a multimedia table of his design in collaboration with live cinema artist Brock Monroe. Pure light focused onto the glass produces an aqueous, mutable projection. Hallett will be joined by singers Emily Eagen and Peter Sciscioli (members of The M6: Meredith Monk Music Third Generation), who will perform duets from Meredith Monk's "Facing North" and musician Miguel Frasconi, who will play the percussion solos originated by Collin Walcott in the original performances of "Our Lady of Late".
Nick Halletts residency continues every Thursday in May:
May 14 Part Two: Karlheinz Stockhausens Stimmung
May 21 Part Three: Whispering Exercises Premiere
May 28 Part Four: Auroville
