VISIONS

Visions is my one woman show for tuba, voice, loop pedal, and spoken word (narrative performance prose poetry if we’re being precise). 

It’s composed of works I wrote from 2016 - 2026 for survival in real time (that magically formed the thesis’s narrative arc! Whoa!).

It’s 90min in three acts, following my journey to psychological liberation:

Prologue: 

Why Am I Black? (November 2016)

Act I: The External Fight

Gateways (February 2022)

Reflections (April 2023)

Foundations (April 2023)

Act II: The Collapse

Fire (June 2023)

Be Anything But Angry (July 2023)

The Snake (July 2023)

I Choose You (August 2023)

INTERMISSION 

Armor (October 2023)

I Am Angry (February 2025)

Act III: The Rebirth

Woman in the Mirror (December 2025)

WitM Sequel (December 2025)

The Wave (January 2026)

Integration (January 2026)

The Cage (January 2026)

Epilogue 

Phoenix Manifesto (June 2026)

As the internal level of the tetralogy, Visions focuses on my interior battle to recognize and face the internalized voices after years of letting the fire burn inside of me.
