Li(sa E.) Harris leads a meditation celebrating the legacy of Tony Feher's Free Fall. Harris's activation honors the memory-keeping capability that both water and our bodies hold in resonance with our planet and the gravity of climate change.
Tony Feher’s site-responsive Free Fall was originally commissioned by DiverseWorks in Houston, Texas in 2013. Harris also collaborated with Feher within this first iteration of the installation.
Lisa E. Harris is an interdisciplinary artist, creative soprano, performer, composer, improvisor, filmmaker, writer, singer/songwriter researcher and educator from Houston, Texas.

Harris received her MA in vocal performance from the Manhattan School of Music in 2004 and a Deep Listening® Certification from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2017.
