Artist Margaret M. Morris

Morris is a uniquely vibratory spirit who captivates audiences with a range of dynamic capabilities from ferocious intensity to serene and supernatural dexterities.  She seamlessly weaves elements of yoga dance and creativity in ways I have never witnessed in my life.  She will make anyone believe in magic.

...improvised sounds, words and stories...dramatic recitations and singing... an overwhelming, nimble improvisational force, tripping the spectrum...

~Piotr Orlov, Afropunk

... evokes such benign forces as blessing and healing. ~Sid Smith, Chicago Tribune

Margaret [is] a dream!  Skillful as a dancer and vocalist,  she is open to experimentation and performs right from the heart.  Margaret is pure joy to work with.

Morris has a daring and progressive vision. ~Asimina Chremos, Time Out Chicago

Otis and Morris used movement to cajole, comfort, and instigate. The two showcased their athleticism as well as their willingness to go there, to be the mirror that reflected some of the most uncomfortable emotions. And yet, rather than leave the performance to drown there, the artists lead the audience back from the brink. They closed their set by inviting the audience to come into their space, to be present in the moment and bear witness to grief at its sharpest. Some even leapt out of their seats to join them on stage. Their set revealed what the blend of performance art and social commentary can be when it is put into the hands of extremely capable artists.

Margaret Morris's kinetically-charged approach to inhabiting a musical moment involves using all aural stimuli as clay for shaping sound and even shape shifting in the moment. Range means little, as her low to high note reach is elastic and fearlessly approaches coloratura soprano land. A bold vocal improviser, Morris plays emotion and abstraction as a jazz instrumentalist does. A dancer/choreographer, as well, Morris moves between singing, sprechstimme, speaking and movement with experimental fire.
