Each program begins with live performances and unfolds into a town hall–style conversation, creating a rare forum where composers, performers, and community members engage directly with one another.

Amazing Baritone Daniel Neer will perform “Call“ and newly commissioned “After All“ as part of his residency at Otterbein University. “Call“ was originally written in 2013 and Daniel performed it in his “The New Song Volume 1“ concert in 2017. Soon after, we talked about a new pairing song, but while we were finding the right timing and opportunity, the pandemic wrecked the plan altogether. So, now here it is, a new pair of vocal works based on one word!
project/tag presents a duet from SARAH, a work-in-progress examining Kurdish experiences, cultural memory, and political changes in the context of Saddam Hussein’s violent rule and 2005 trial before the Iraqi Special Tribunal. Choreographed and performed by project/tag co-artistic directors Hussein Smko and Mizuho Kappa, this duet highlights the violent and destabilizing impact of war on human relationships, bodily autonomy, and expression.

ABOUT Sarah
Inspired by the stories of Hussein’s sister in the Kurdish region of Iraq, Sarah celebrates women’s resilience, shared humanity, and the Kurdish experience amidst wartime and Saddam Hussein’s 2005 trial. Set in a courthouse under the Ishtar Gates of Babylon, Sarah tells the story of the pregnant, unwed Sarah under trial during a time of war. Sarah endures judgment from her patriarchal society and abandonment from her lover. However, like Ishtar, the Mesopotamian goddess of love, war, and fertility, Sarah remains proud and resilient, never abandoning her pursuit of freedom.

I’ll be headed to Lenox, Massachusetts in August to collaborate with Genée Coreno again for the theatrical production in development!
Celebrate WAM Theatre’s 15th Anniversary with a site-specific performance of Outside, created and directed by WAM’s new Artistic Director, Genée Coreno, featuring local Berkshire performers & designers. Outside tells the story of June Ashbury, who returns to a place called Paradise following a climate event. Guided by a lone wolf, June traverses landscapes weathered by time and loss, gathering strength and hope as she journeys towards new horizons. Audiences will be guided through the grounds of The Mount by characters, text, original score, and puppetry in this family-friendly outside theatrical experience.
This special showcase takes place across the grounds at The Mount and includes devised performances and installations, drinks on the grounds, and a special cocktail reception and silent auction on the terrace. Following the performance, our community will come together for a terrace celebration to toast WAM’s foundation as we leap into our next decade – inspired by renewed creative vision, leadership, and adventure.
Schedule of Events:
4 pm - 5 pm | Site-Specific Performance
5 pm - 7 pm | Intimate Terrace Cocktail Party featuring fresh summer appetizers from Higher Bar’s Boutique Catering and Seasonal drinks from The Mount's Terrace Café.
