Tara Lindsey Gordon's Master’s concentration and thesis project, M’Emery Movement: The Intersection of Voice and Dance, was on the role of anatomy in artistic development and creative theory. Tara worked professionally in New York City for eight years as a performer (credits include Hot Ink Festival, First Look Acting Company, Magellan Gallery, Carnegie Mellon Summer Stage and Barrington Stage Company); as a vocal coach she has worked for The New York Times Television, Alstra Capital Management, and for non-profit events with presenters that included Conan O’Brien, Robert Kraft and Theo Epstein. After completing the Fitzmaurice Voicework® certification in 2008, she opened a private practice that fuses Fitzmaurice Voicework®, Reiki and Pilates (in which she is also certified). Several of her clients are creative writers and poets working specifically on speaking their own text. In 2008, with a co-collaborator, Tina Manchise, she founded the non-profit fine arts company, The Requiem Project: Emery Theatre, in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Requiem Project: Emery Theatre is the revival of an 1100-seat acoustically pure symphony space re-established as a multi-purpose visual arts and performance venue and artistic resource center.
