Ms. Vasilevski has her roots deep in the theater, dating back to original work with Jerzy Grotowski ('74) and evolving through performance art, dance theater, music theater and "concert theater." For twenty years she has collaborated with numerous new music composers, creating new and unusual texts and extending the relationship between text and music. Her article on concert theater "Pioneering a New Form or Putting a Dress on a Tree?" (2.6MG) appeared in the Yale Theater Review. Her current projects include developing an anime extravaganza with voice artist/composer Kyoko Kitamura for Roulette and Tokyo this autumn and touring the chamber opera She Lost Her Voice That's How We Knew (text and direction) composed by Frances White for soprano Kristin Norderval. She is also writing and directing the Madrigal Comedy Jukebox In The Tavern Of Love with composer/collaborator Eric Salzman for an '08 premiere by Western Wind vocal ensemble; directing the Gala Concert for the Asian Cultural Council with Ravi Shankar at Jazz at Lincoln Center; Kathleen Supove's Exploding Piano at The Flea Theater and Michael McQuaary's cabaret, Back Then They Had Faces, at Don't Tell Mama. Please see the calendar for more information. Her voice can be heard on the new ZBS Ruby #7 CD which features the Android Sisters: Ruth Maleczech and Valeria Vasilevski, and The Best of the Androids, a new EM Records release in Japan, complete with a 48 page color booklet!
