Another weekend of chain-sawing and burning (outdoor
housework) but I also managed to check out a couple of work in progress at
Snape Maltings in Suffolk - on Saturday Indus was a piece in development by an interesting group
including singers, a composer, writer, dance and movement. In my mind it threw
up lots of thinking around the idea of
interpretation and a voice in terms of audio description. The second work I saw
on Sunday was a kind of mash up - as if the Cantina band from Star Wars was
from a folk background. A brass folk band mixed with musical theatre. I love
going to see stuff at Snape, especially in the Hoffman building when the
exposed pipe work is a dream. Meanwhile James Cousins Company at Dance House in
Ipswich was awesome. It was all about balance and completeness, examining wholeness. Structure v content, the connections
we make how we and learning from it. Green book is a moving tale but mainly its stature is held up by the stunning performances from the lead actors https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6966692/
