IMPROVISATIONS and SOUNDSCAPES
Improvised or arranged music, especially for dance, performance and theatre. Ongoing or past projects include:
IMPROVISED MUSIC WITH LIVE VISUAL ART:
Monthly events held at the Foundry 2005-2007, with invited visual artists creating spontaneous work in response to live improvised music
by myself, Steve Moyes and others. See the Gallery pages for photos (click again on Improv & Soundscapes in the menu).
IMPROVISED MUSIC WITH DANCE:
2001-2005: Regular monthly performances at the Foundry with dancers and movement artists; originally as the group CHARACTERACTORISTICS, and then with KHAVATI AND COMPANY (Andrew Downes and guests). Other regular venues have been the
291 Gallery, Area 10, Lost Property Art events, plus also some local festivals and The
Space theatre.
