Meredith Monk has been creating for more than five decades as a composer, theater director, performer, filmmaker. The list, as they say, goes impressively on.
“I write about Monk to prolong and share an experience that has set my soul and senses tingling,” on the occasion of a four-hour retrospective of Monk’s work at New York’s Whitney Museum in 2009 and a performance at the Guggenheim.
