MUE: shedding of skin

MUE writes:  The direction we are following is an attempt at an equal creative partnership, where movement, light and sound can fluidly work towards an animation of the given space.  Our different vantage points, histories and techniques are brought to the space and situation.   Shape and erosion of shape seem to take place as a result.

Café Reason’s 10th Diamond Night – Ana Barbour writes

Café Reason’s 10^th  Diamond Night.   24th November 2012

Six different works covering dance, poetry, projection, live music, film and voice in Café Reason’s 10^th Diamond Night  organised this time by Paola Esposito and Fabrizia Verrechia.  There was a good turn out for the cosy space of Oxford Brooke’s drama studio.  Good to see this support for new work.

The first piece by Anne Ryan was a short vignette in which a face peers out from a frame.  A soundtrack of recorded voice traces a range of emotions expressed in the subtle changing nuances of the framed face. Simple, elegant and strong.
