Twilight Concert at the Musical Fence, Winton 2004
During a residency in 2004, I collaborated with the local community in Winton to create a series of short musical pieces, presented in a twilight concert at the Musical Fence. As the show progressed, the changing light added a special atmosphere to the performance. The concert began with a selection of hymns, for which we transported the church organ to the fence. The event concluded with a choreographed bowls routine, set to the tune of ‘Howzat,’ performed by the sensational ‘End to End Dance Explosion.’ Between these bookends we presented a range of shorter works.
