BIO

Pollock: A Frequency Parable is an avant-operatic sound performance piece that infuses the inspired quotes of Jackson  Pollock with experimental vocal techniques, abstracted projection, and multi-prismal lighting.

 

By vocally re-conceptualizing key elements used in Pollock's revolutionary style of art making such as: energy, motion, scale, improvisation, and tone, a challenge is presented to both the performer and the audience to free the voice from the confines of language, allowing it to transcend tradition and be experienced for it's potential - Modern Art. 

 

Matthew Marcum, is a producing artist that infuses text, sound, movement, and optics to create contemporary theatre productions, live art exhibitions, and conceptual installations. Mixing extended vocal techniques with an eclectic musical soundtrack, Pollock: A Frequency Parable gives a new meaning to the term "expressionist".

 

This piece has a run time of 30 minutes and includes music, video projection, and theatrical lighting. Content is appropriate for all audiences.
