Searching and Knowing
The Rev Dr Joyce Parry-Moore (Washington, USA)
World premiere live vocal piece with movement and electronic score,
expressing the journey through a breast magnetic imaging test. Soprano,
priest, coach, and survivor Joyce Parry Moore joins two dancers to
create healing images of Valkyries, playing children, shaman. German
composer Stefan Hakenberg set Parry-Moore’s poetry – influenced by Psalm
139 and the words of medieval mystic Dame Julian of Norwich – to vocal
music, and the sounds recorded from an actual breast MRI into
accompaniment, painting the inner experience of a woman’s search to knit
herself back together with humour and grace. Post-show discussion.
