Artistic Project 1: Recitations in Motion
Stephanie Lamprea, soprano and dance artist | Penny Chivas, dance artist
​​
Recitations in Motion is a 52-minute staged multidisciplinary performance of Georges Aperghis' 14 Récitations​ for solo female voice. For this project, I created a studio album recording of the 14 Récitations, and I incorporated my experiences in this work into a staged production. I submit a multi-camera video recording of Recitations in Motion below for doctoral assessment. I also provide my studio recording for reference, as well as a link to a single-camera video recording of ​Recitations in Motion (in case you would rather view the performance from a singular audience viewpoint), the full musical score to the 14 Récitations, and a Dropbox folder containing all the M4V, WAV, and PDF files for this submission.

Ipsa Dixit is a staged chamber opera composed by Kate Soper, written for soprano, violin, flute, and percussion.
