A contemporary dance piece what i did do most of the sound for, catch a performance of it if you’re around brighton.

This has been an epic piece, and has been toyed with over the course of a whole year. Most of the sound was recorded from the performer and her interactions with the microphone in the development of the piece. This was then heavily manipulated and other complementary sounds were introduced. There are also healthy doses of silence, which i don’t think i’m allowed to take credit for.

Mlle Y at the New Venture Theatre

is the joint venture of dancer and choreographer Tamar Daly and NVT artistic director Mike Stubbs. Closing this year’s season at the theatre on the 8-11 of July, this evening explores the tensions within Strindberg’s play The Stronger.

Opening with Strindberg’s one act play, directed by Stubbs, and continuing with Mademoiselle Y, Daly’s dance/media performance, the program concludes with a vocal interpretation of the play by singer Nicolette Corcoran.

Described by Mike as “a jewel of theatrical drama with timeless appeal”, The Stronger consists of a single conversation between two women, Madame X and Miss Y. An impromptu meeting in a bar leads to an unusual dialogue in which Madame X accuses Miss Y of having an affair with her husband. Like many of Strindberg’s plays, The Stronger is a psychological trial of strength in which two characters are brought together in an immediate moment of opposition.

Drawing on the tensions in the play, Daly playfully explores Mlle Y’s ‘voice’ in her unique performance style. She combines movement, video projections and electronic sound to create a dynamic theatrical landscape where unsaid thoughts and feelings continuously emerge and disappear.
