'Frozen White'

Produced and directed by Stan Wijnans , interactive performance "Frozen
White" is a technically elaborate mixed media performance which addresses
states of being and becoming: what would happen if people incarcerated in
medical institutions were suddenly able to control a liberating technology?
Against a stunning video backdrop dancers emerge from comatose rigidity to a
state of utter abandon, shadowed by a restless musical improvisation.
Utilising the Soundbeam Ultralight Sensor System the dancers colour and
influence thelive music and determine its atmosphere. Their dramatic ascent
into consciousness is both uncanny and ecstatic - and their increasingly
assured grip on the mechanisms of control offers a fascinating study of
empowerment. Presented by London Musicians' Collective.
With dancers Julia Clarke and Gabriela Solini; musicians Gail Brand
(trombone), Rhodri Davies (harp) and Steve Noble (percussion); Anne Nigten
(video); Nick Rothwell (computer programming); and Stan Wijnans: soundeffect
design, video, mixdown.

'building'

Phil Durrant and Sophia Lycouris build a palpably architectural environment
in "building". Through dynamic interaction and intricate improvisation, they
erect an edifice with the beguiling allure of a mirage glimpsed through a
desert storm. Phil Durrant (laptop, live processing) and Sophia Lycouris
(movement, video).

Performance 6. 7 & 8 September:
