Baryshnikov Arts commmissions the world premiere of Woolgathering, an evening-length spoken word opera directed and composed by Oliver Tompkins Ray, based upon singer-songwriter and author Patti Smith's book, Woolgathering. As a longtime artistic collaborator of Smith''s, Ray is joined by John Heginbotham, who will develop a choreographic vision and language that inspirit the natural and supernatural words of Woolgathering, a meditation on memory, childhood, and imagination. Smith's words will enliven and amplify the setting, music, and dance. The work will feaure Patti Smith (voice), Cornelius Dufallo (violin), Connor Gallaher (pedal steel/guitar), and Oliver Tompkins Ray (guitar and electronics), as well as Gerald Casel and Mykel Marai Nairne of Dance Heginbotham. The production includes lighting design by Thomas Dunn, sound design by Chris Mclaughlin, and costumes by Maile Okamura.
