"Their actions and physical dialogues are as fluent, variegated, and disciplined as the melodies we hear and the unseen musicians they embody."        - Deborah Jowitt, The Village Voice

 
 
 

Strings Attached contrasts the thrill of playing music and being part of an ensemble with the struggle of women musicians hustling to make a living in a man's field. Using voice-over interviews with women of all ages in the classical, jazz, opera and folk traditions, and set to a sumptuous original score by Obie Award-Winner Diedre L. Murray, Strings Attached explores the larger issue of the human need to have a creative life.

The score is performed live onstage by a quintet of strings, and counterbalanced by a set of miked floor-to-ceiling strings that are played and danced on by the Company. Stunning intersections develop between dance and music, stillness and silence, and between the performers.
