Mickey Farès is a soprano and improviser based in Chicago, with a rich cultural heritage rooted in Venezuela, Spain, and Lebanon. With a foundation in classical opera performance, her vocal practice explores the full elasticity of the human voice—stretching its expressive limits and weaving together a diverse range of sonic textures.

Her improvisational style draws on the raw spontaneity of free jazz and the rich emotionality of Spanish folkloric singing, creating a unique and deeply embodied sound language. Collaborating with movement artists has become a central avenue in her work, where the interplay of physical and vocal expression allows for a dynamic exchange of energy between performers.

At the heart of her artistic process is a commitment to shared energy—how it is passed, shaped, and amplified among collaborators. For Mickey, improvisation is a playground for presence, curiosity, and connection.
