Love and Other Mysteries

Almost 20 years after working together on Kenneth Koch’s Popeye Among the Polar Bears, Medicine Show and Butch Morris re-unite to present a series of performances in which Morris will conduct Medicine Show actors as they interpret texts as a group.

Lawrence D. “Butch” Morris is one of the leading innovators in the confluence of jazz, new music, improvisation and contemporary classical music. He is perhaps best known as a pioneer of “Conduction,” the use of a vocabulary of ideographic signs and gestures activated to modify or construct a real-time musical arrangement or composition.
