About the Project
VOYAGE is a 40-minute musical-theatrical performance piece featuring a mix of vibrant original songs performed live using instruments and backing tracks, innovative film, dance, audio sampling, and spoken word. Created by musician/performer Sarah Saturday and filmmaker Dycee Wildman, this 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.
GARDENING, NOT ARCHITECTURE is the nom de scène of SARAH SATURDAY, an innovative musician and multimedia performance artist based in Nashville. Over the past 15 years, Sarah has established herself as a leading force in boundary-pushing artistic expression and collaboration in Nashville, combining music, film, dance, spoken word, and visual art into immersive, interdisciplinary experiences.
DYCEE WILDMAN is an award-winning Nashville-based filmmaker. Dycee’s work has shown internationally at film festivals and has most recently been recognized by Chattanooga Film Festival with the Tennessee Filmmaker Prize.
Both women have been recipients of the Tennessee Arts Commission’s Individual Artist Fellowship: Dycee for fiscal year 2020 and Sarah for fiscal year 2024. They have been collaborating since 2014 in the spaces where film, music, and theatre collide. Priding themselves on nurturing a culture of collaboration around each of their projects, they have worked with hundreds of artists and creatives over the past decade to build performances and experiences that blend music, movement, and cinema into seamless, multi-sensory experiences.
Prior to Voyage, their projects together include How Many Spiders (2020): a short film directed by Dycee featuring an original score by Sarah; Absence of Me (2019): a live audio-visual performance piece; and Fossils (2015): a three-part film set to Sarah’s third studio album.
