| Description | In response to research by Professor Shelley Trower, s new work by Seadog Theatre, a Newcastle-based company who make visually and spatially inventive and interactive work for specific audiences. Director Laura Bridges is collaborating with artists from London and the North East, including acclaimed set designer Eleanor Slade, sound designer Lucy Harrison and choreographer/performer Patricia Verity Suarez. The artists hope this experience will reinvigorate audiences’ appreciation for reading and for their local library, underlining libraries not merely as containers of books, but as live spaces where people come together to imagine. The work was a combination of interactive installations and live performance all made by manipulating and developing sounds withing the oral history archive using techniques inspired by musique concrète. |
