Description

Pervasive Media/Theatre/Dance/Music/Sonic Art

We invite you to a discussion event at The Pervasive Media Studio to introduce our 2011 artists in residence, and to spark a conversation around their new work. Throughout April and May, two groups of artists are spending supported time at the studio, to develop new theatre and sonic/dance based works that use pervasive media and technologies.

Performance writer Sharon Clark and creative technologist Tom Burton will be developing a theatre piece inspired by Angela Carter. The Stick House will be an interactive space that fuses live theatrical performance, music and pervasive media into a darkly haunting, yet beautiful experience.

Laura Kriefman of the Guerilla Dance Project will be working with the composer Tim Bamber and the interactive experience designer Robin Ray to create a unique piece incorporating site-specific dance with field-recorded sound, music and pervasive media. They will be using spaces within St George's Bristol as a departure point.

Taking place on the 31 March, in their first week with us, this event will be an initial look at their ideas, concepts and plans. Join us from 3-5pm.

The residencies will last for three months, and your input is ongoing. Watch out for further work-in-progress and showcase events throughout April, May and June. After the event, we'll most likely head over to the Watershed bar to informally continue the conversation.
