Meredith Monk Quotes

I’ve never had an empty house. Ever Picture Quote #1

As artists, I think that one of the good qualities we have is that we’re imaginative. We’re resourceful. We like challenges Picture Quote #1

When I’m an audience member I do not want to go and see something that I already know, I want to see something that I don’t know. I want to be surprised and stimulated to think about something. I want the magic. I want to be in a situation of uncertainty; that’s what excites me Picture Quote #1

It’s been a continuity right from the beginning - that longing to weave together perceptions, to affirm the richness of us as human beings both as performers and audience members Picture Quote #1

I think about that ‘empty’ space a lot. That emptiness is what allows for something to actually evolve in a natural way. I’ve had to learn that over the years - because one of the traps of being an artist is to always want to be creating, always wanting to produce Picture Quote #1

When you start worrying about form, then you’re not in the moment Picture Quote #1

Curiosity is a great antidote to fear Picture Quote #1

I somehow sensed when I was a teenager that I wanted to do my own work. I was quite clear that I didn’t want to be an interpretative kind of artist. I had an intuition about wanting to create my own form, in one way or another, whatever that would be Picture Quote #1

Sometimes in the past when I was going to perform a piece again I would listen to old recordings and try to reproduce the material. This time I realized that carrying around old information, trying to get everything in, and still be in the moment just doesn’t work Picture Quote #1

That inner voice has both gentleness and clarity. So to get to authenticity, you really keep going down to the bone, to the honesty, and the inevitability of something Picture Quote #1

Yes, the more I go through life I realize that there’s really no separation between practice and art at all. The two things more and more become one rather than two different aspects of my life Picture Quote #1

I work in between the cracks, where the voice starts dancing, where the body starts singing, where theater becomes cinema Picture Quote #1

My music is very, very precise. It’s very rigorous. The forms are much more intricate than you would imagine Picture Quote #1
