Its primary goal is to foster personal healing that carries on outside the installation space and explore new ways for music and consciousness to interact by engaging all five senses. This project synthesizes Olstad’s formal training as a classical musician, 13 years of experience organizing community-focused wellness events, and 8 years working as an integrated producer. Music For Healing combines an ambient soundscape - crafted from minimalist piano, natural sounds, and restorative beta and theta waves - with a carefully-curated physical environment that incorporates responsive lighting, color therapy, and soothing scents. Hearing, sight, taste, smell, and touch are all activated as part of an integrated experience to create a space of calm and reflection. This experience seeks to encourage not just inward introspection but to strengthen the empathetic social bonds between audience members. While spiritual and mindful experiences span all cultures, sound-based therapies and art and music are so often gatekept or associated with affluence. By learning to heal within, individuals can learn to break intergenerational trauma, learn self-acceptance, gain empathy, and build social cohesion. By crafting a truly communal space that brings together disparate artistic disciplines, Music For Healing intends to create an inclusive and accessible space that can bring healing modalities to diverse communities across New York City, expanding the possibility for interconnectedness on a broader societal scale. Music for Healing was awarded a 2024 NYSCA artist grant. Photo credit: Lizzie Brooks Yee Project Credits / Collaborators: Created, directed, and produced by Angelica Olstad.

Through a singular blend of music, image, and choreography, we follow a young couple in Brooklyn as the breakdown of their love is interpreted in the style of an ancient myth: a man cradles his dying lover, before she is reborn into a powerful new form. Every element of the film stands on equal footing, as Olstad’s contemplative piano narration, an expressive camera, and the poetry of the human body unite to explore a feeling beyond words. Its story of transfiguration and transformation presents a unique synthesis of music and image, echoing the form of the “choreopoem” as defined by pioneering Black artists like Ntozake Shange and Julie Dash, a form of dramatic expression that brings together music, poetry, and live performance to create a deep feeling in the audience beyond simple plot or themes. “An Awakening” engages a full spectrum of senses to explore how generational trauma manifests itself in the body, on an effective level deeper than dialogue could ever express.
