SENSUOUS GEOGRAPHIES is a space of ritual, a liminal space intended
primarily as a space for interaction, for contemplation, even for
play.

Members of the public can watch or don richly coloured costumes and
enter the central interactive space. Here their movement generates a
continually evolving world of sound, image, light and colour which
draws attention to the intricacies of the sound environments they are
creating and the inter-weaving pathways of sensation in the body as
they respond to the sound. Surrounded by ghostly figures, projected
onto luminescent hanging screens, the installation comprises an almost

infinite collection of sound worlds, created as the visitors move in

and out of the installation, generating both individual musical layers

and the overall texture of the sound environment.

see www.sensuousgeographies.co.uk and www.sensedigital.co.uk for
details of the installation

What the press have said.

".. nine performers (including audience members) dressed in muslin
blindfolds and coloured garments that look like a cross between
medieval gowns and burkas. .... generate intriguing, disquieting and
humorous sounds as they respond to the [installation]. Watching, you
feel like an uninitiated participant in an intricate mythological
role-playing game. But the piece is so inventive and original that you

surrender easily to its infinite possibilities."
Mark Brown (The Guardian)

"...what emerges is a personal/group signature tune that constantly
shifts and cannot be repeated. On one level it is happy play, on
another it taps into notions of wordless communication and issues of
identity." Mary Brennan The Herald.

"...this is an event where the audience become the show, donning
jewel-coloured cloaks and hats and milling about in a marked-off inner

circle where the various colours trigger off a range of sounds and
images ... Once you get past the fear over entering the inner circle
(especially when you are handed a 'green novice cloak') this is a
funfair ride that dispenses with all the usual rules of theatre "
Ellie Carr The Sunday Herald.
