This coming Thursday: Repast, is a sensory interactive experience that explores the interconnectedness of nature and memory and featuring an original score by Paul.
Produced by Wldr
Paul and longtime collaborator Mkhululi Mabija will be 2022 artists-in-residents and fellows at STIAS, a centre for innovation and creative thinking and the first institute of its kind in Africa.
Formed in response to the lost bond of intimacy between neighbours during lockdown, HERE explores the theme of locality and transition through a collaboration between words, music, and visuals.
Original poetry and integrative art unify the quiet story of HERE and its reflections on place, identity, and and the act of re-gathering in the wake of change. Interwoven musical compositions including 4 world premieres are brought to life by the unique colours of harp, recorder, saxophone, and piano.
7.30pm on May 30th at the Annandale Creative Arts Centre. Tickets can be purchased HERE! ClassikON has also published a Q&A with background information.
Paul recently completed his residency at UKARIA Cultural Centre in the Adelaide Hills where he worked on Repast, a new work of immersive music-driven multi-sensory theatre being for Light Adelaide with production by Wldr. He was joined by an interdisciplinary team of collaborators including pianist and creative director Nicole Brady, sound designer and engineer Bob Scott, violinist Alexandra Osborne, cellist Rachael Tobin, cinematographer Alexander Smith, and chef Brendan Wessels.
Paul and collaborator Chae-kyung Lee’s adaptation of Miss Julie, commissioned and premiered at the International Festival for the Centenary of Strindberg in Seoul in 2012, is being revived at Gamagol Theatre in Busan. Performances begin February 18, 2022.
Paul is currently working on a new work of genre-bending immersive multisensory theatre that explores the emotional power of food, music, and memory and the ways these become inexorably linked to moments in our lives.
Repast is a landmark production being created for 2022 at Light, a ground-breaking new venue that brings together the music, technology, and culinary industries with a strong social mission. Production is by Wldr.
He was recently announced as one of two recipients of an artist-in-residency post UKARIA, where the soundtrack to Repast will be workshopped and recorded, in addition to completing Creative Partnership Australia’s MATCH Lab.
