Conduit

"...a meta musical piece on bodies in music, bodies as music and music through bodies. This playful piece embodied the language of dance in harmony with that of music as dancers even embody notes on a staff and the competing through lines of counterpoint and harmony until the conductor can set it all to right."     

- Cynthia York, Two Cents and Two Pence (2019)

 Conduit sources the movements of orchestral conductors to weave an abstract tale of human relationships, power dynamics and the role of art in our lives. It considers the dance of the conductor as part of a ritual… a performance of the meeting place between  music and listener, between the everyday and the transcendent.
