NON:op Open Opera Works strengthens ties across communities by producing immersive, interactive, and multi-disciplinary performances and installations for virtual, indoor, and outdoor public spaces, pairing them with complementary discussions and salons.Collaboration is fundamental to NON:op’s evolving programming and organizational vision as a facilitator for artistic experimentation and creativity. NON:op centers community in its non-hierarchical and non-directive organization structure, and reflecting its core values, deploys innovative artistic platforms where people may collectively work towards a more just society.

I collaborated with the team and participants as an intern during the 2022 season, assisting the art director with current and upcoming programs, including Hear Below and Viral Silence. During the 2022-2023 season, I also served as a teaching artist for Soundwalk programming for Hear Below and Aural Neighborhoods.

Spaces Speak is an online portal for crowd-sourced virtual architecture tours, presenting personal narratives about locals' favorite built spaces in Santa Fe.

In collaboration with the team and participants, I am recording and collecting site-specific sounds and narratives to create virtual tours that live on a map that is accessible through the friends of architecture website.

The Sound Portraits of the Anthropocene project aims to document the cultural landscape identity of individuals and their relationship to the built and natural place that surrounds them. Audio narratives and soundscape portraits will make up each digital story and the sound design of each story will include field recordings of the landscape as it sounds today.

The project aims to explore questions such as;

• What are the implications for framing apathy towards the environment as the dominant narrative in places like Odessa, TX? Does that apathy become internalized?

• What ecological burdens are present? Does the environment force an internalized view of expendability?

• How does resiliency manifest when theorizing about the environmental features that surround one’s self?

Stay tuned for an online archive coming soon.
