Arone Dyer is director, composer, curator and performer, and aims to present beautiful musical experiences that provide deeper connections between women of different cultures within the musical community through Dronechoir. While the current sonic composition of the piece is a constant, Dronechoir continually reshapes itself through reimagined movement directions designed specifically for each space, as well as thanks to the generous participation of adventurous vocalists of diverse backgrounds whose voices vary in volume, range and timbre. Movement directions embedded within the piece physically foregrounds specific singers at different points in the piece, and the singers may move closer to members of the audience, bringing depth to the listener’s experience by challenging barriers and introducing a heightened sense of engagement with the performance.
Dronechoir combines unfamiliar collaborators with an unrehearsed performance, and everyone is singing together for the first time with people they may never have met before. Throughout the piece, the vocalists learn what their role is within the choir and composition. By committing to this unrehearsed performance the vocalists naturally demonstrate a sense of hope and support, acceptance, love and respect to the audience and each other.
