Jeffrey Fleishman from the Los Angeles Times has written that Escobar "can make her voice sound like insects dancing on dry leaves or a rocket ship dying in space.
'"[4] These constrictions led her to explore other possibilities of the voice, extended techniques being a prominent one, and to seek additional training from artists living in Mexico City such as Hebe Rosell and Juan Pablo Villa.
In the United States and in other locales, Escobar continued her vocal experimentation techniques with additional training with Jaqueline Bobak, Meredith Monk, Jaap Blonk.
A Communitas Ritual of Manifestation in Los Angeles's Echo Park Lake on May 20, 2017,[15] which was later re-staged as part of Pacific Standard Time Festival: Live Art LA/LA on January 13, 2018, funded by the Getty Foundation and organized by REDCAT.
Escobar and her collaborators, which consisted of musicians, instrumentalists, and dancers—among them Naranjo, Dorian Wood, the Oaxacan youth brass band Maqueos Music, Oguri, Roxanne Steinberg—activated the installation of the Piano Suspendido that hovered 6 feet above Los Angeles' REDCAT's stage floor and created a surrealist sonic and visual journey into the entrails of the installation for the spectators.
As described on the REDCAT's website, Bajo la sombra del sol "is a performative hypertextural scenic work by Carmina Escobar that is staged, makes communion with, and gathers multimedia material at the natural landscape of Mono Lake, California.
"[30] This multimedia material gathered can be considered an experimental film that Escobar directed in Mono Lake under great duress, the Covid-19 pandemic and the fires that raged throughout California during the summer of 2021.
Between screams, gasps, wails and glottal noise, Escobar stood like a terrifying statue on stage...Symbolizing the raw terror that lays beneath the surface, sometimes in the moment and out in the open.
[37] Chacon was part of the creative team, he was one of the composers, and Escobar played the role of one of the Coyotes, where she donned a costume designed and manufactured by Cannupa Hanska Luger, who also served as co-director, alongside Yuval Sharon.
[1] Among her notable contributions to Sweet Land, was her vocal improvisation, along with the other Coyote (Micaela Tobin) and the Wiindigo (Sharon Kim) over Chacon's electronic soundtrack in the section entitled "Crossroads.
With Micaela Tobin, Escobar is one of the founders and workshop facilitators of Howl Space, "a community-based learning resource that reframes vocal pedagogy through holistic, process-based approaches to discover the multi-faceted possibilities of the voice and unveil the creative process.
"[40] Some of the projects that Boss Witch Productions has produced include Bajo la sombra del sol (2021-2022), Vox Clamantis (2021-2022), CalArts Gala at REDCAT (2022), among others.
Sheri Linden for The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Escobar's work in the film is "essential," an "ethereal score" that "taps into the beauty at hand.
