Learning on ScreenMusic of the ‘Speare
- Synopsis
- A multi-media performance with flutist/vocalist Ellen Waterman, The Contemporary Music Ensemble (CME) at the University of Guelph, and Video Artist Kenneth Doren who re-interpret existing adaptations of Shakespeare with improvised music and visuals. And in the Pouches in Mine Ear did Pour is ‘a delicate soundscape in which accordion, processed toys and electric guitars caress sweet and creepy vocals that hint at, but don’t actually speak Shakespeare’s words’. The Touches of Sweet Harmony draws on pop cultural references, romantic Shakespearean quotation and music cliches. Shahnn! Iburpmah is a comic re-enactment of a classic stage sword fight and Speare is an improvisational work danced and choreographed by Danielle McCulloch. The common parameter for each piece is time: each group is 7 minutes.
