THE WALKINGS

is the title of several related works that came after after working on Cathedral and iOrpheus from 2000-2014.I conceived of texts in the form of 24 poems and short prose pieces that were set to the Time Curve Preludes by William Duckworth. As an installation. my voice was recorded to music, a solo piano, and images and video were projected in a gallery setting. In another context, I performed live (with pianist Luke Gullickson; soon the be recorded).

There were a number of other projects prior to The Walkings, as noted below.

The first in a series of iOrpheus performances. Conceived of by William Duckworth and Nora Farrel, this was staged on February 28, 2007, four hundred years to the day of the premiere of Claudio Monteverdi's L'Orfeo (libretto Alessandro Striggio) in Mantua, Italy. It is considered the first opera. iOrpheus, - the i is for internet - was created in homage and to be an on-going, with 26 podcasts prior to the live production with texts and voice by AJS. 

A one-person play, for either actor or puppet or both.
