Upcoming
Coming this fall: my a six movement (micro)Requiem project. I’m pretty excited about this and though it seems like a heavy theme (hi, 2020) it’s really quite inspiring and buoyant. There’s hidden bits of Mozart’s in it (free Misha-verse t-shirts for those who can find them! Tee hee!).
Stay tuned in early 2021 for Radiant Poison the video EP which includes the already-released video Visible Darkness and two new tracks: Shore Pines and Spider Silk and the title track. The EP features yours truly, plus George Heathco, guitars and Chris Becker, beats.

Visible Darkness: a new music video
Visible Darkness is a new music video from Misha Penton — a fairytale of our ephemeral delicate bodies in a city of glass and steel, and a celebration of the magnificent transformative feminine. Misha Penton: voices, words, music — with original contributions from George Heathco, guitar and Chris Becker, beats. Directed by Misha Penton.

Breathe, Move, Voice: an Online Workshop Series
Slow-down. Self-care. Explore the connection between breath, voice, and body in an uncensored environment of creative play. We’ll engage with gentle warmups and exercises which are springboards for speaking, singing, and are foundational in bringing all creative projects to fruition. We’ll also check in with each other about challenges, triumphs, strategies and solutions in our creative lives. No experience needed. The work is accessible for all body types and abilities.
