Howling Moon Wolf sessions
For Culture Night 2016
A site specific multi-disciplinary collaborative installation in Old St-Mary's Church with Maurice Caplice, visual and sound artist, Brian Byard, musician, Paul Kelly, lighting and film artist, environmental artist Lynn Mather and Theresia Guschlbauer, textile artist.
The collaborative process aimed to enhance the resonances of the space and to echo each other’s work to offer a truly immersive and sensual experience. Taking into account the time of year and the synchronicity of a Full Moon on Culture Night (16th September), the five artists offered an extensive artistic ‘session’, combining exhibition, concert, participative activities and interactive experimentation centering around the theme of ‘Howling to the Moon’, using multiple approaches and media to explore this theme. Central to the evening was an interactive wolf drawing by Maurice Caplice, which members of the public were able to ‘fill’ with miniature figures. Apre-recorded soundscape of ambient sounds by Maurice Caplice, drawing on his large LP collection was overscored by a live performance by Brian Byard.
BETWEEN LIGHT AND SHADOW
“Comforting dim candle light and waves of sound lulled me into a gentle altered state. Walking in and out of the spiral, I came home to a peaceful centered part of myself. It was a sacred and healing moment out of time. An experience that remains an active soothing memory in my body which I look forward to doing again soon.”
A site-specific installation & live soundscape particularly suited for disused churches, heritage buildings and other once-off site-specific events or festivals.
the junction Choir
Every year, for the past six years, 2canDo Arts has collaborated with the Junction Choir, a project-based choir which comes together two to three times a year to sing for a service or concert. The choir has sung a wide range of European classical music as well as the European premiere of Micheal O'Suillebhain's choral mask Madison's Descent.
Orfeo & Eurydice
In 2014, the Junction Choir opened the Festival with a semi-staged performance of Gluck's masterpiece Orfeo & Eurydice under the baton of Elisabeth Attl with Jennifer Davies and Roland Schneider.
