Abstract
For my dissertation, I have created two large bodies of work that address environmental issues of the Hudson River in Troy, NY: Riverfront Park Soundwalk (2016), an artist audio tour, and I have expanded the soundwalk experience out to further experimentation with a “meta” project called SleepWalks: The Body of Dreams (2016), a state-funded (NYSCA) multi-media dance performance based on the collaborative local waterways-themed dreams of participants of two-overnight SleepWalks performances. My soundwalks are a not only an artistic practice and methodological tool, but also they were used as a method for creating the SleepWalks: The Body of Dreams dance performance.
