Monk, Meredith (Jane) (sh)




born Nov. 20, 1942, Lima, Peru

Peruvian-born U.S. composer and performance artist.

She was raised in Connecticut and New York and attended Sarah Lawrence College. She soon formed her first group, The House (1968), to explore extended vocal techniques (many learned from study of other cultures) in combination with dance, film, theatre, and other elements, in genre-defying works such as Juice (1969). One of the original creators of performance art, she has remained unique and unclassifiable.
