Laurie Anderson - 2010s

2010s

In February 2010, Laurie Anderson premiered a new theatrical work, entitled Delusion, at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games. This piece was commissioned by the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad and the Barbican Centre, London.

In May/June 2010, Anderson curated the Vivid Sydney festival in Sydney, Australia together with Lou Reed. Her new album Homeland was released on June 22.

She performed "Only an Expert" on July 15, 2010 on the Late Show with David Letterman, and her song "Gravity's Angel" was featured on the Fox TV show So You Think You Can Dance on the same day.

She appears as a guest musician on several tracks from experimental jazz musician Colin Stetson's 2011 album New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges.

Anderson is currently developing a new theatrical work, entitled "Another Day in America". The first public showings of this work-in-progress will take place in Calgary, Alberta in January, 2012 as part of Theatre Junction GRAND's 2011-12 season and One Yellow Rabbit's annual arts festival, the High Performance Rodeo.
