P. 7
• Max Baillie & Vahakn Matossian: experimental music and music rooted in pop-culture,
a blend of powerful explorational sound journey and tangible concert experience for the
listener with viola, percussion and electronics
• Maz O’Connor: a folksinger who treads new boards as she creates her first piece of
music theatre, which tells the true story of Bridget Cleary, a woman who was murdered
by her husband in 19th-Century Tipperary because he believed her to be a faery
changeling
• Nick Ryan: Working in the historic acoustic laboratory at BT Martlesham Heath, Nick and
his collaborators conducted a series of bizarre, wondrous, and technically sophisticated
experiments, aiming to measure qualitative perceptual phenomena of listening typically
considered to be unquantifiable
• Thick & Tight: a dance duo whose work incorporates mime, drag and cultural reference.
After being commissioned by Kings Place for the Noh Reimagined Festival, and with an
invitation to train with artists in Noh and Kyogen Theatre in Japan, their Residency
explored how these art forms can be incorporated into their own work, and where their
practices overlap and diverge.
The remaining artists are Emile Levy, Join the Din, Nadine Benjamin, Shruthi Rajasekar &
Reylon Yount, Thabo Mkwananzi and Ulita, whose Residencies will take place later this
year.
