MENDA's MUSIC

Cardinal Carter Academy for the Arts - Grade 10 students.
Choreography by students and Amanda Birchard

A global digital collaboration project instigated by my music class at OISE. Premise: I reach out to strangers around the world and propose a music project. I began with a tap dancer in New York. She laid the rhythm. A poet from Australia heard the tap and, inspired, sent me his video and words. An accordion player in Budapest added his talents, and I sang the lyrics that my poet in Australia had written for me. This project built itself.
