MUSE PRODUCTIONS Music Director: Kim Kendrick Art Director/Choreographer: Lois Macaulay 236 Montrose Avenue Toronto, Ontario M6G 3G7 Phone: 539-8702, 566-8146 Fax: 964-7079 MUSE PRODUCTIONS was formed three years ago to produce music I dance performances to accompany key exhibits in art galleries such as the McMichael, AGO and Hart House. Unique to our productions is our layering of artforms; a typical programme might include piano solo, song, choreographed music, spoken prose, choreographed poetry, projected image or broadcast scent. All programmes are the expression of one particular theme. Veteran performers Kim Kendrick and Lois Macaulay are the centre of the organization. Guest musicians have included Blair Mackay percussion, and Jenny Mallon, pianist Andy Gallardi and cellist Alan Stellings. Our current programme, "Hail 0 greenest branch" renders the songs and writings of Hildegard of Bingen into voice and movement and marks Muse Productions's first uncommissioned work. In preparing this event we found Hildegard's work lends itself to our approach. We plan to continue exploring her music in upcoming programmes revolving around her music.
