Original music for Kokoro Dance - choreography by Barbara Bourget

After a wildly successful collaboration with Kokoro Dance in 2009, we decided to work on a project together, from the start to have original music and dance.  Barbara suggested we use Walt Whitman's epic poem I Sing the Body Electric as a guiding inspiration, and thus I Sing - The Body came to be.

 

The music was organized into songs which were developed from improvisations with my band, Waterhole.
