Abstract

Ed. Note: Performing artist Deborah Hay wrote the following letters to her daughter, Savannah, earlier this year.1 They describe both the process of performing for 22 evenings straight in January-February 1989 and the evolution of her newest work, The Aviator. The piece completes a trilogy, which Hay began in 1986 in collaboration with new-music composer Ellen Fullman, titled The Man Who Grew Common in Wisdom. Parts I and II, The Navigator and The Gardener, premiered in New York City in 1987 and Amsterdam in 1988, respectively. At presstime, the completed trilogy was scheduled to premiere in Austin at the University of Texas Opera Lab Theatre in September 1989.
