VENT with Musarc
Had a wonderful time on Saturday at the premiere of VENT, which is a new piece for choir, electronics and object puppetry. I made the piece with my friend Rachel Warr, who is a fantastic theatre maker and puppetry director in response to a commission from the excellent organisation MUSARC. Rachel wrote the libretto and work narrative and also directed the movement and puppetry. The piece explores themes including protest, anarchy and ventriloquism. Was a lot of fun making it, and I found it very moving on Saturday. I also enjoyed playing ‘harmonium’ in Gavin Bryars’ On Photography and some kind of synth bass thing in Julius Eastman’s Stay On It. The concert went really well and the following are some rehearsal pictures from the gig by Yiannis Katsaris. I’ll post some other pics in the New Year.
Look forward to seeing how the piece can evolve in the world.
