Rosana Cade, Ivor MacAskill & Tim Spooner are a collective of UK based artists with specialisms in sound, performance, set design, and visual art, who created The Making of Pinocchio.
In this workshop we will share our current research and process towards our new show - NOW NOT NOW, an ambitious, multi-media project exploring time, sensation and our perception of reality.
We will invite you to take part in some of our multi-tempo experiments, where scenes happen at the same time, at different speeds, on top of each other. This is an opportunity to experience this performance mode from the inside, with clear guidance and instructions throughout. We will record this so that we can watch it back together during the session, experimenting with speed in the playback.
We centre playfulness, curiosity and experimentation in our practice. This workshop is suitable for artists and performers who are interested in experimenting with us from a fun and open-minded perspective.
MORE ABOUT THE SHOW: As four artists nearing what could be the 'middle' of our life, at a time when we are being told all the time that time is running out, we began this process with a desire to wrestle with finitude and open up our understanding of 'time' beyond human made structures.
We are working towards NOW NOT NOW, a performance work which plays out in different tempos simultaneously. Multiple time-worlds co-exist in a polyphonic assemblage, sometimes touching, or coming in sync. Through camera capture and replay at different speeds we bring attention to and understanding of different temporal experiences and glimpse other realities.
