Six Feet Apart (Trailer)

ASHLAND, OR — On Sunday, August 29 at 5:30 pm, Rogue Valley-based nonprofit Anima Mundi Productions will premiere a new multimedia choral oratorio called Six Feet Apart: Stories of Resilience and Transformation. This unique work harnesses the power of music, poetry, and visual art to amplify diverse voices and foster collective healing in Oregon and beyond during the COVID-19 pandemic. The music and poetry were created by Rogue Valley-based resident artists Ethan Gans-Morse and Tiziana DellaRovere.

Collecting Pandemic Stories through Partnerships

Anima Mundi Productions partnered with the Southern Oregon Historical Society and received consultation from other area nonprofits in our effort to collect and make available to the public a diverse cross-section of Oregonians’ experiences during the pandemic.

The stories collected for this project reflect the diversity of these experiences. Composer Ethan Gans-Morse, poet Tiziana DellaRovere, and their collaborators collected stories via Zoom and phone calls as well as online submissions throughout the fall of 2020, including from students at H.B. Lee Middle School in Portland.

About the World Premiere

On Sunday, August 29, Six Feet Apart will culminate in the world premiere release of a multimedia music video combining music, visual art, and poetry. This project is part of Anima Mundi’s Heart of Humanity concert series. The concerts in this series normally take place at the SOU Music Recital Hall in Ashland, but the entire 2020-21 season is being released on the company’s website.

Viewers may purchase a ticket to attend the premiere, which will be followed by a live question/answer session with the creators and contributors of the project. After the work has premiered, the video will remain on the company’s website for free. For more information: www.HumanityTickets.com

Press Quotes

“When the pandemic hit, and as weeks turned into months, we knew we had to do something,” said Gans-Morse, “As artists in our state, it felt like a call to action for Tiziana and me. Our experience has been that sharing our community’s stories through music can be profoundly healing. It is our hope that harnessing these stories and acknowledging the diverse and life-changing experiences of people from around our state will foster greater unity and appreciation for what our fellow Oregonians are going through.”

“Art and life intertwine to find solace in the sharing that exposes systemic injustices. Much to my surprise, when I am interviewing for these stories, people thank me for listening and they tell me that they feel unburdened just by talking to me about their trauma,” said DellaRovere.

Grant Support

This project was awarded a $15,880 Cultural Development Grant from Oregon Cultural Trust and a $3,888 Arts Build Communities Grant from the Oregon Arts Commission. Anima Mundi Productions is grateful for their support and for that of our other sponsors: the Oregon Community Fo
