Creative Session

Hi everyone,

We had a great third rehearsal with the Culture Collective and Street Genius. This week we were rehearsing in St Andrew's Church and we were joined by photographer Tracy Fahy,
a fine artist, reportage photographer and photographic facilitator, who is mentoring Amah in photography for the event. Check out Tracey's work on her website at www.traceyfahy.com
The photos on this blog are by Amah Asomani, Street Genius.

We worked this week developing improvisations from the words we found when listening to the music with Mira Calix, also adding in actions to the music that can refelct the nature of the music.





We played with percussion instruments, a gong that Antoine has from China, and a mini keyboard from Rachel. Timo plays his guitar with a bow for some pieces, and we also played with using the bow with the gong.

Some of the improvisations extended into longer pieces and some improvisations were really short, each varying in dynamics and feeling to the piece.

Will experimented with live visual effects with the camera and projector that worked well with moving dance and light in front of the screen.



We also made a 1 min promotional video this week for the 40th Birthday coming soon.
