From Bishop Sigrist and the Transfiguration Fellowship-
I am taking the liberty of posting this also here as I think of general interest: from Yury, Author actor producer poet and clown resident in Rome sometimes New York....
"Thank you so much for sending me the link with recording of Zoom session.
It gave me the possibility to "participate" in this meeting, which sometimes otherwise would not possible to attend,
to listen to the beautiful poems and performance and to learn new things.
This kind of performance could be traced to the ancient times, where music was often joined with the poetry complimenting each other. In this context I recall when
we, with my brother Vladimir, (who is also an actor and clown) years ago, had participated in the similar format of the show with the composer and violinist Michael Galasso in Florence, in the performing space with belonged to the Carmelite monks.
It was something which one would call "The Happening".
We have been lying on the stage reciting the polyphonic poems in two voices in Russian and Michael would play his music and improvise. It was a memorable experience.
Thanks again
Best wishes
Yury
