Laurie Anderson is best known for her role as a collaborative performance artist armed with her mutated violin that yields shrieking outcries. But that is only one facet of her extensive career. She has shifted in and out of roles, often in a single performance, as visual artist, composer, poet, sculptor, photographer, filmmaker, electronics whiz, and vocalist. What threads her performances together is her instinctive and progressive use of technology, always employing it to its fullest potential while maintaining full organic control of her art through imaginative storytelling.
She has toured internationally throughout her career, which began in the 1960’s, performing a range of material, all of which highlights her signature use of experimental instrumentation and multi-media theatrics. Her current tour, The End of the Moon, features work she produced during a recent position as Artist in Residence for the NASA Arts Program.
