Extracts from Spinvolver

a solo dance opera lecture performed by Susanna Hood with John Oswald (offstage)

Spinvolver, is part lecture, part opera, part dance jockey set, part cinema for the ears. It brings to the stage various aspexts of the recorded medium of plunderphonics through a lone performer, who is partly real and partly memorexed.

How to describe John Oswald? The Montreal Mirror describes Oswald as “probably Canada's most important composer-musician,"  and the London Observer has called him "the maddest man on the planet."

Susanna Hood is a compelling and virtuosic performer in dance and music. She has been actively involved in collaborative interdisciplinary creation projects exploring the interaction of movement, sound and varying forms of interactive technology.

People Like Us (Vicki Bennett)

For Open Ears, Vicki Bennett will perform her “Genre Collage” in which patterns, syntax, moods, narrative elements, recurring icons, characters and film stars held within selected movie genres/sub-genres (i.e. action, adventure, comedy, crime/gangster, drama, epics/historical, horror, musicals, science fiction, war and westerns) are used to create a humorous, surrealistic, yet informative take on the content held within.
