Electrofringe 2015 showcase

We’re preparing for a show at 107 Projects, Redfern, as part of the Electrofringe Festival showcase. We’ll be performing at 5.15pm with Telechord, bass, drums, interactive and live visuals. I will speaking beforehand about the process of creating the work and designing the main movement-controlled instrument, a type of polyphonic theremin. This is the first time Electrofringe has left Newcastle, so it’ll be interesting to see how the event transforms in this new exhibition-style environment.

Entry is by donation and you can find more details at electrofringe.net.

Thanks to all who came along to the PACT shows. I am on web hiatus for a while as I concentrate on thesis writing and contemplate future performance projects and collaborations. See you on New Years’ Eve at New Psycle.

Beams arts festival

We had a fun and frantic time at the Beams Festival. It was a challenging but exciting environment to perform in. Thanks to the organisers, CCS Studios UTS for the loan of the projector and Cino for providing the PA. I’ll be posting some videos of people interacting with the installation soon, but for now we’re preparing for Bodyscapes at the PACT Theatre this Friday and Saturday nights – 26 & 27 September.
