Today Yaoling Lee brought music to the LAB. This was the first time.
Yaoling commanded the piece to start a few minutes early, she had previously made sketches mounted on the walls. Some oils and some charcoal drawings.
"Live Painting Music & Dance" was Yaoling Lee sketching as the Pink Puma Ensemble Chelsea Thompson (viola), Joy Shi (flute), Nadiya Sedasey (violin) and Amber Shi (violin) played classical standards and a few contemporary numbers for about an hour. Later she would sketch them, quick charcoal sketches as they played solo.
For the second hour Musa Shaheed played a djembe and as he did, dancer Delbert Quilter moved. A beautiful juxtaposition of body in motion and reverb.
Each pose held by Delbert was answered by the drum's skin under Musa's palms. And all that while Yaoling sketched. Powerful!
