THERESA WONG is an improviser and composer whose work encompasses music, theater and the visual arts. Her training in classical music and design fused during a fellowship at Fabrica Center in Treviso, Italy where she recognized the possibility of creative performance through the merging of different disciplines. Bridging areas of musical and visual expression, Wong seeks to find the opportunity for transformation in each work for both the artist and receiver alike. Her current projects include Disasters of War, a duo written for and performed with Carla Kihlstedt for cello, violin and two voices inspired by Francisco Goya's etchings, a performance duo with Dohee Lee which operates through the energetic and vibrational transfer of experience through movement and vocal improvisations and a collection of solo songs created from retuning, preparing and extending the sound worlds of voice, cello and piano. In 2009 Wong was invited by dance pioneer Anna Halprin to perform a leading vocal role in Spirit of Place, a site-specific piece honoring Lawrence Halprin and Stern Grove. She is also a cast member on cello, voice and piano in Carla Kihlstedt's Necessary Monsters seven member theater project. In addition, she has collaborated with such artists as Ellen Fullman, ROVA Saxophone Quartet, Fred Frith and Joan Jeanrenaud. Her performances have been included at the Fondation Cartier in Paris, Unlimited 21 Festival in Wels, Austria, Other Minds Brink series in San Francisco, Radio France broadcast, A L'improviste and at The Stone in New York City. Theresa holds an MFA in Performance and Improvisation from Mills College.
