You And Your Work 4
-
Thu 24 January 2008 // 20:00
Featuring: Rhiannon Chaloner, Chloe Dechery, Bryony Henderson, Michael Jones, Levantes Dance Theatre and Fay Nicolson Inc.
(24th Jan / 8pm / £6/4)
Curated by Birgit Binder & Sylvia Rimat.
After a little break the marvellous 'You and Your Work' performance platform is back with more hope, more talent, more DIY spirit and more cash, as this platform is supported by Arts Council England. We have travelled up and down the country and met promising local talent to bring the crème de la crème of what there is of young and exciting performance and live art to Bristol. This time six companies and solo artists will enchant the Cube stage, lounge and bar area.
The show "Gin and Satsumas" by Levantes Dance Theatre will be one of the acts which spectators can look forward to. Their work, strongly influenced by theatre and live art, blends a variety of performance styles including video, text, audio and both pedestrian and contemporary choreographic material, all contributing to a strong, unique voice.
In "Useful Knowledge to Know", French performer and lecturer Chloe Dechery will give a snippet from her lecture series about stuff you should know. The humorous and intelligent show draws on making oneself understood and the challenging task of imparting information.
In the Cube lounge, on several tables serving as assembly lines, Bristol city architecture will be rearranged in picture collages manufactured by the audience whilst supervised by Fay Nicolson Inc.
Bristol based love researcher Michael Jones will conduct with one audience member at a time the moment before a kiss. The artist invites you to follow instructions that portray and also schematize one of the most exciting and intimate encounters between people.
The sole video work of this night explores the mystic and beauty of Mexican Wrestling. "Mr. Mexico" is neatly choreographed on screen by Bristol based performance artist Rhiannon Challoner.
In "the red thread" performer Bryony Henderson presents selected stories that refuse to fit into two year’s obsessive research on theatre audiences. The spectators are invited to listen and pour their imagination into these mysterious and everyday stories.
Feuerzangenbowle (a burning winter punch, 'google' it to find out more) will keep you warm and bring the evening to an elegant close.
