An accomplished songwriter and studio artist, Miss Moody's work includes title songs for two feature films. She is a founding member of the improvisational music group, These Are Not My Hands. Miss Moody has written two libretti, one for the opera “Caliban Dreams,’ commissioned by the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival, composed by Clark Suprynowicz and presented in concert at the Magic Theatre in 2003; the second for the oratorio “Bitter Harvest,” composed by Kurt Rhode, and which premiered at Zellerbach Hall in December 2005.  “Bitter Harvest” was commissioned and performed by the Berkeley Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Kent Nagano.  Miss Moody is currently working on a new multi-character solo work entitled, “D’Arc.”  Look for it in 2006.
