On 22nd May 2019 Scare the Horses invited us to create compositions to frame a screening of Fabrizio Terranova’s Storytelling for Earthly Survival, a biographical film about celebrated eco-feminist Donna Haraway in Broadwalk House in the centre of Exeter. After the performance, Paula Crutchlow, the curator and host of Scare the Horses, interviewed us about our contribution to the screening, alongside bee keeper Jason Wallis and Operations Manager Andy Littlejohns who run the city centre apiary project nearby in Princesshay.
The prelude we made was Composed by Bees for paper cup-and-string telephones with bees and entangled audience, with a listening score for audience as the postlude. You can listen to our interview with Paula, below.
A Quiet Night In invite people to join them at 10:30am on Friday 29 March 2019 in the workshop at Exeter Phoenix to perform Antoine Beuger’s 2018 piece ‘now is the moment to learn hope’. We perform this consciously at a time of huge change and upheaval in our world. In the words of John Holloway, whose talk in 2016 inspired the work …
“Now is the time to learn hope …
not just to hope that everything will be alright.
But to learn hope …
hope as a way of thinking that opens paths to a different world.”
To take part, bring an instrument, or sound making device, and join us at 10:30 am for an 11 am start. The score is attached, please read it carefully. It is an open-ended piece in terms of duration, but we imagine we will be finished by 1 pm.
Any questions, contact Emma or Tony.
