Details:
Born with albinism, M faced early in life the peculiar dynamics of diversity by the simple act of looking into a mirror - a young black girl''s eyes stared in; by a society''s color-coded template a young white girl''s face stared back. M''s very existence unfolds as both a declaration and a challenge to the perceptions of a world divided and separated along racial lines. And in expressing this embodied duality, M found an equally significant aspect of her uniqueness in her extraordinary vocal gift. In her music, in her composition, in her artistry; she realized that she possessed a vibrant channel through which she could engage her surroundings; through which she could question and challenge, creatively, a world that so sharply questioned and challenged her very existance.

M, an Internationally acclaimed performance artist based in New York, depicts a series of compositions, "m-enations" from a deemed "Madwoman", in an interactive multimedia installation of space, light, sound, items, images and concepts. This installation includes a ninety-minute live performance by M, and stands as a sculptured interactive artpiece otherwise. Supported by a Master team of Artists and Technicians, this presentaton includes a state of the art customized multimedia system created by James P. Nichols, Broadway, Jazz and Grammy Award Winning Producer/Engineer; as well as Creative - Stage Direction by Claude E. Sloan, Jr. , of the LOEB Drama Center Experimental Theater at Harvard, and the New York Shakespeare Festival at the Public Theater.

With a commanding 6 octave range, M has captivated International audiences with mesmerizing stage performances highlighted by her lyrically compelling music, and an electrifying theatrical delivery. In Madwoman, M explores through song, spoken word and stunning visuals, paradox and duality both from without and within. That M is a woman of color with albinism, Madwoman is inspired even more with a most unique perspective on the notion of difference entirely.
