We have a special show tonight featuring Corey Smith’s new work Essay on Resonance with an opening set from Lia Kohl and Nick Meryhew’s Heavy Tiny project! Essay on Resonance is a 50-minute solo performance by Corey Smith, a Chicago-based performance artist and composer. The work unfolds as a live essay in sound, speech, light, and shadow, exploring resonance as both a physical phenomenon and a guiding metaphor for trans embodiment.
At the center of the work is the hammered dulcimer, an American folk instrument whose particular resonant characteristics are conceptually deconstructed and electronically manipulated. The piece scaffolds itself around the dulcimer, straddling the lines between performance lecture, shadow puppet show, pop concert, and ambient musical encounter. Meaning emerges through an accumulation, as sound, body, and space begin to vibrate together.
Heavy Tiny (Lia Kohl and Nick Meryhew) create a dense miniature world of field recordings, synths, walkie-talkies, and found objects that feels bigger inside than out.
