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.
Ms. Vasilevski recently directed and wrote the libretto for Jukebox In The Tavern Of Love, collaborating with composer Eric Salzman. Jukebox was commissioned and premiered by The Western Wind Ensemble and is scheduled to reopen in New York in May,'09. Her next collaboration will be with composer Randall Woolf for Second Life. This will mark their seventh collaboration! Please see the calendar for more information.
Her voice can be heard, along with Ruth Maleczech, as the Android Sisters for ZBS productions. The Android Sisters also have a new Japanese CD, The Best of the Androids that comes with a 48 page booklet!
