Natalie Peters embarks on an extraordinary exploration of the voice, placing at the center of her work the human capacity to repeatedly resonate afresh with life. She reminds us of the importance of continuously refining our ability to experience — remaining open physically, emotionally, and mentally — in order to find a more universal response to existence, to accept transience, and to dissolve it through presence.
Natalie Peters’ vocal pieces are a deep breath and a liberation — of sound and behavioral patterns that typically define how we use the voice. Hearing a human voice inevitably brings us into contact with it and sets our own body resonating, for every muscle holds a memory of its biological function. In Natalie Peters’ work, one listens to a voice that merges music and life into a story not meant to be decoded, but to speak to deeper human mysteries.
In her solo performances, she seeks to create a presence through direct resonance with the environment, the audience, and herself — a presence that plays with our perception of time.
For Peters, remembering, forgetting, visions, and conditions are states of being that she consciously touches and reintegrates into awareness through the unusual yet precise use of her voice.
