Voyage is the latest multimedia project from Nashville-based music and performance artist Sarah Saturday (also known as Gardening, Not Architecture), featuring a mix of vibrant original songs (produced by Boom Forest) performed live using instruments and backing tracks, innovative short films (directed by Sarah’s long-time collaborator, filmmaker Dycee Wildman), dance (choreographed by Joi Ware), audio sampling, and spoken word. The live performance is both vulnerable and cathartic, at once enveloping viewers in its rich visual landscape while simultaneously creating an intimate and safe space for self-reflection.

THE MUSIC

THE SHOW

This “live visual album” is an invitation to audiences to tap into something truly vulnerable within themselves, creating a safe space for whatever feelings may arise. The stage play explores the shifting relationship we have with our complex and layered identities – those parts of ourselves both positive and negative that are always trying to protect us, sometimes to our detriment. Only by confronting and befriending these innermost parts of ourselves can we find peace within, and only from this ground of peace within can we truly begin the work of building a more peaceful world around us.

In January 2023, Sarah was the artist in residence at Coop Gallery in Nashville. The installation included behind-the-scenes photos, props, and costumes from the making of Voyage, along with several art prints that sold in a silent auction. As part of the residency, Sarah performed nine sold-out private rehearsals of the nearly-finished live show.

In May 2022, Sarah was invited to share the Voyage work-in-progress as part of the Brave New Works Lab at Oz Arts in Nashville. For this three-night run, she performed 18 minutes of the new show including three songs and 5 of the short films.
