Tuning Up, 2013
Performance with pianist, Samuel Chapple,
Presented at Plymouth College of Art, as part of solo exhibition: In the boom of the tingling strings.
Tuning Up combines an orated script, piano improvisation and the choreography of moveable textile screens as a live performance.
The script explores the pedagogy of music and movement, alongside fragments of fictional texts, poetry and stream of consciousness.
A disjointed narrative is accompanied by live piano improvisation and staging of moveable textile screens, text works and images, broken down into scenes relating to each passage in the text.
The work sits somewhere between concrete poetry, lecture and dance - crossing these boundaries and exploring the possibilities for musical accompaniment to voice.
