Current Focus

We all faced significant hurdles when COVID forced us to take our performances on-line. Even now, as concert halls are re-opened and audiences welcomed back in person, the impact of COVID resounds today and the move towards, at least partial, online presence of performances seems permanent. As artists, my collaborator (Chi Him Chik) and I chose to lean into these “problems” to see what sort of creative solutions could open doors to other performance opportunities. 

MaXaS has set out to encourage students to do just that: explore what is possible within a remote performance context that isn’t possible in traditional practices. We do this by visiting universities and providing lectures, workshops, and coaching that encourages students to blaze their own path and find their own voice within this rapidly emerging medium. Chi Him resides in Germany and thus “Zooms in” for lectures and performances while I visit in person.

Note: A typical residency is from 3 to 5 days and consists of a series of lectures and workshops culminating in an evening performance of student and MaXaS works. The works chosen for the performance should coincide with the coaching and workshops given by MaXaS. That is, if an improvisation workshop is given, the students that attended the workshop could improvise a performance at the concert.
