SINGING THE SHAPES

Songs of the enduring sacred harp

No stage. No audience. Just voices, joined in sacred song. Singing the Shapes is a portrait of a living tradition that resists performance—and invites belonging.
I made this film to capture and share the beautiful and complex world of Sacred Harp singing, which might otherwise be lost to time—and which remains almost entirely unknown outside the circle of those who sing it.
