More details are slowly falling in

Join us for a performance fundraiser for LADA with Tim Etchells, Rosana Cade and Angharad Davies.

For this one-off event, artist Tim Etchells invites performer Rosana Cade and musician Angharad Davies to join him in an encounter working with text loop fragments and violin improvisation. Drawing on Etchells’ practice in which language distorts and transforms through repetition and in dialogue with sound elements, More details are slowly falling in is a collaborative experiment in which three unique artists bring their considerable individual experience and perspectives to play, inventing and exploring sonic material together.

The starting point for the performance is a set of text fragments taken from Etchells’ notebook – overheard comments, puzzling images and questions – which take their place in layers of voice and violin in compositions where texture, energy and musicality are as important as semantics.

Presented in The Study Room, More details are slowly falling in is a donate-what-you-can event for LADA.

Thanks to LADA's Patron Tim Etchells, the proceeds from this event go to support LADA's future creative projects. As part of our ongoing commitment to removing economic barriers to access and to securing a financial future for the organisation, we are trialling "donate-what-you-can" alongside our "pay-what-you-can" events. Your donation means more events like this can be delivered as part of LADA's annual programme.

Rosana Cade (they / them) is an artist based in Glasgow, working across experimental theatre, live art, queer cabaret, film, children’s performance, site responsive and socially engaged practices. The form of their work emerges in relation to the context or inquiry they are dealing with. They enjoy experimenting with audience perspective and are well known for some of their intimate 1-on-1 performance work, such as Walking:Holding, which has been touring the world since 2011 to over 40 locations. 

They are one half of Cade & MacAskill, and regularly collaborate with Tim Spooner and Yas Clarke, with whom they recently created their multi award-winning show The Making of Pinocchio. 

Rosana’s work has been shown across Europe, North America and Australia to a range of venues and organisations such as Festival D'Automne in Paris, Gessnerrallee in Zurich, Battersea Arts Centre in London, Teatro Maria Matos in Lisbon, Kampnagel in Hamburg, Tanzquartier in Vienna, Vier Nul Vier in Gent, FTA in Montreal, and Arts Centre in Melbourne. 

Rosana is a co-founder of //BUZZCUT//, a radical performance collective with a strong community focused ethic, who support live art and experimental performance in Glasgow. Rosana regularly collaborates on other artists' projects as a performer, dramaturg or mentor.

She has been involved in projects with Tarek Atoui, Tony Conrad, Richard Dawson, Gwenno, Roberta Jean, Jack McNamara, Rie Nakajima, Tim Parkinson, Eliane Radigue, Georgia Ruth and J.G.Thirlwell.Most of her records are released on Another Timbre, but she also has releases on Absinth Records, allthatdust, Confrontrecords, Emanem, Potlatch, NI VU Ni CONNU and winds measure recordings.
