Description

Night of Breath

Night of Breath is comprised of Toby Young's Under the Surface, Kate Elswit, Ben Gimpert and Megan Nicely's Breath Catalogue and an in conversation with Toby Young, Kate Elswit and their research collaborators.

Under the Surface is a new choral work from composer Toby Young, commissioned specially for the occasion by the Life of Breath project. The piece explores the experience and isolation of people suffering from breathlessness, bringing this forgotten and invisible experience to life through song. The premiere will be conducted by renowned musical director Stephen Rice, and Bristol University Singers will perform alongside soloists from the internationally acclaimed Brabant Ensemble. Under the Surface starts at 19:15 and is 15 minutes long (approx).

Breath Catalogue is a collaborative dance theatre work which combines choreographic methods with medical technology to create a cabinet of breath curiosities in performance. With different tasks, the performers’ breath becomes unpredictable, messy, and varied. The catalogue makes it possible to collect and retrieve different breath samples through the process of live dance in order to make breath perceptible to the spectator. The piece uses capacitance resistance sensors from StretchSense. A wearable technology which gathers breath data during the Breath Catalogue performance and transmits it. Doing so is more than “tracking”; it enables the development of feedback loops that create new choreographic structures, in the process allowing the dancers to interact with their own breath in new, intimate, and palpable ways. Breath Catalogue starts at 19:30 and is 75 minutes long (approx).

The post-show discussion will start at 21:00.
