The Other Tempo installation is open daily from 10am. There are eight performances across the festival - see session times in the orange box.
Other Tempo’ is a live sculpture.
A coloured score drapes, dances and reveals an assembly of performance instruments, where sharp notes are highlighted against the skins.
The music speaks to history and memory, played until a complete cycle has been heard.
This score moves in phases. The music warms up, warms down by dancing.
Other Tempo challenges the way we hear, see and think about sound and feminist performance.
The piece invites you to experience with the whole body: the modified environment with careful colour and sound design stimulates a visceral experience within the architecture.
The installation of Other Tempo can be viewed from 10am-10pm throughout the festival with the exception of Monday and Tuesday when it closes at 6pm.
This is a free event, no bookings required.
