more infoFilming Jessen and Aperghis
Members of Black Hair were at the Royal College of Music this week, filming in the studios there. The composer Ed Jessen set up the project, and the result will be a short film of his pieces 'Companion' and 'Chambre', and a realisation of one of Georges Aperghis's 'Recitations'.
Danish commission
We have commissioned a new work from the Danish composer Thomas Agerfeld Olesen for our 2010 season. Funding for the commission has been provided by the Danish Arts Foundation. We met Thomas in 2006 when we opened the Aarhus Festival. His new piece (working title: Audio Plays) will exploit the theatricality of Black Hair - but we don't know how yet! The premiere will be in York next Spring.
There's going to be a new piece by Roger too, but we know even less about that......New Collaboration with Open Minds Theatre
Black Hair begins a new collaboration with Open Minds Theatre in Rotherham in the Autumn. Together we will devise a new show for the Rotherham Open Arts Festival. The performance will be on October 9th 2009 in the 'Spiegel Tent' in the centre of Rotherham.
Don't know what it's going to be yet, but it's going to be a lot of fun working with Open Minds again. (see upcoming gigs for more info when we have it)
