MeMoSa: Please Leave Me Alone to Weep and Sing Forevermore by Post-Bacc Fellow Emma Noelle
Please join us for an evening of musical and visual storytelling by the Movement Lab’s post-baccalaureate fellow, Emma Noelle.
The evening will feature 4 of Emma’s songs arranged for voice, synthesizer, cello, and viola, with accompanying projections that illustrate her haunted dream worlds and personal mythologies. She will be joined by Dora Banyai on the viola, Thea Mesirow on the cello, and Noah Rott on the synthesizer.
Doors open at 5:30 PM and MeMoSa begins at 6:00 PM
Capacity in the lab is capped at 50 audience members. Attendees who have RSVP'd before the event will have priority, and admission will be determined on a first come first serve basis on arrival. If you RSVP before the event but you arrive late, we reserve the right to give your spot to someone on the waitlist.
Attendees who have not RSVP'd will be put on a standby waitlist if they arrive in-person before the event.
Bio:
Emma Noelle (she/hers) is a vocalist, songwriter, and visual artist based in New York. She grew up in the Philippines and moved to New York at 18 to study at Barnard College, graduating remotely in May 2020 with a BA in Art History/Visual Arts.
As an undergraduate student and artist, Emma worked primarily with analog photography, focusing on portraiture and documentary projects. She worked as a Photography and Imaging intern at the Brooklyn Museum in the summer of 2018. In addition to her photographic work, she created a short experimental performance film in 2019 entitled Wedding Dance as a grant recipient under Barnard’s Emerging Filmmaker Mentorship Program.
In her senior year of college, Emma had a spiritual epiphany that led her to pursue vocal art as a creative medium and a lifelong calling. Her current body of work focuses on song-making, vocal performance, and visual art, exploring the worlds of personal mythology and voice-based storytelling as paths to healing. When she’s not working, she’s buried deep in the spiritual realm and singing.
