6 Degrees/Toni Valle, Composer George Heathco, and Singer-Composer Misha Penton premiere "Testimony" at the Midtown Arts Theatre Center Houston on September 26-28, 2025. "Testimony" is an artistic response to the events surrounding the sculpture “Witness” by artist Shahzia Sikander: its origin and the silencing of Sikander's artistic voice through protests from religious group Texas Right to Life, and ultimately vandalism of the sculpture. “Testimony” is an aerial dance performance / visual art installation with an innovative sound score celebrating the original intention of the sculpture – to honor the strength and resilience of women within a patriarchal society and magnify the importance of feminism and bodily autonomy through sociological, and historical references embedded in the sculpture.Choreography by Toni Valle and Company
Sound Score composed by George Heathco with Singer-Composer Misha Penton
