Bathroom Songs
Gelsey Bell
Between sessions Gelsey Bell will perform Bathroom Songs (2009).
“Bathroom Songs uses the voice to explore the physical and poetic reverberations of individual bathrooms. Using extended vocal techniques and the singing of little ditties to make public the private meditations that the bathroom allows space for, the piece for a solo voice is a conglomeration of songs and activities re-shuffled for each new performance and unique bathroom.” Presented in the female bathrooms.
