CHANT is a deeply collaborative work created with Andy and Dionne Noble of NobleMotion Dance, bringing together contemporary dance, live and processed voice, electronic music, projection, and responsive technology. Set in a speculative future, the piece explores our instinct to gather, vocalize, move, and search for connection through collective ritual.

I served as co-producer, artistic visionary, composer, and multimedia artist, but the work was shaped through an unusually open creative process in which music, movement, voice, design, and technology continuously influenced one another. That shared authorship is central to CHANT: the piece feels like none of our voices alone, but all of us at once.

Created with Andy Noble and Dionne Noble (choreography), Kari Francis (voice and vocal direction), Germán Cárdenas-Alaminos (set design), Steven Bogard (voice and set construction), Bryan Ealey (lighting design), Barry Doss (costume design), and Aiden Moody (costume construction), and performed by NobleMotion Dance artists Dillon Bell, Wesley Cordova, Deontay Gray, Lindsey McGill, Tyler Orcutt, Jacob Regan, Amy Symonds, Angelica Villa, Emily Wang, Noelani De La Garza, Campbell McMillin, and Reese Merideth.
