With support from the California Arts Council, SACRA/PROFANA will collaborate with composer/artist Dr. Corey Hibbs to create a major choral work addressing the need for safe spaces within the queer community. Through a multi-movement choral composition, the project will explore existential issues faced by individuals in a heteronormative world and provide a platform for self-realization, acceptance, and unapologetic existence. Our project seeks to foster a community and collaborative environment by involving the choir, conductor, and composer in frequent workshops and feedback sessions. In addition to the choral work, the project will incorporate an interactive art installation designed by the composer/artist. This installation will complement and augment the messaging of the choral performance, providing the audience with physical, experiential, and visceral encounters related to the themes of clear spaces, safe spaces, and the journey of self-actualization.
