THE HOWL IN
ARCADIA
This is the story of a war correspondent who is trying to do her job. But when paradise has been overrun by the ruthless, what is there to say that makes a difference? Cult band The Cherubs, with lead vocalist Alex Alderton, create a dramatic journey that challenges the very notion of hope - to sing a hymn to humanity in the face of catastrophe. Ecstatic voices and virtuoso improvisation make something out of jazz and Baroque opera that’s dark, raw, and starkly beautiful. A Creative Wales Major Award supports this production.

Torch songs for the twenty first century!! The Cherubs take the nostalgia out of the torch song and turn it into something completely modern. I’m running a kind of minimalist, piano-driven jazz trio. Here are some songs of stark lyrical beauty. If you’ve not heard her already then Alex Alderton is a must. She delivers belting soul and heart stopping tenderness in the same breath. What happens is a revelation. Raw, dark hued, emotional listening.

THE SUMMER SHIFT CPR International Summer School of Theatre and
Performance
http://www.thecpr.org.uk/projects/summershift.phpABERYSTWYTH, WALES, UK
This workshop explores devising with sound, song, and music to create a
kind of mind's-eye-theatre for the ears that is resonant with the
modern world and will also explore how engagement with a particular
site location can be retrieved as approaches to soundscape composition.
Taking the idea of Arcadia and the nostalgia of Paradise as our point
of entry, we will be exploring ideas around the construction of Nature
and the emergence of mythologies. What if we take these as raw
materials? What stories and narratives can we generate? Taking time to
explore the specific location of Hafod near Cwmystwyth, we will be
exploring strategies for composing image, music and text that are
extracted from site research. We will be exploring strategies for
staging sonic performance using our 'natural' voices and found sound
sources.
Joining Simon Thorne in leading this exploration will be French-German
director Ingrid von Wantoch Rekowski, whose Belgian company, Lucilia
Caeser (www.luciliacaesar.be/), works with the theatricality of choir,
polyglot language, and painting to give access to musical forms that in
turn give life to archetypes, living pictures and transformational
metamorphosis. The text develops beyond words, situations and
characters to harmonies, images and choreographic structures instead.
The outcome is a unique theatre for the ears - music for the eyes.
