Movement and Stillness: Encounters with Music, Haiku and Video Painting.

Monday 24, 7.30pm

Kieron Maguire, Robert Parkinson (Shunt) and Special Guests present a series of short pieces inspired by our poetic interaction with the natural world. The event brings together contemporary music (viola, hammered dulcimer, clarinet), poetry and video paintings loaned by the Open Gallery (www.opengallery.co.uk)

Avant-Garde Scored

Friday 28, As part of Forest Fringe's Goodbye Cabaret

Three musicians create semi-improvised scores on viola, dulcimer, flamenco guitar and live electronics for films spanning eight decades of avant-garde cinema. The 45-minute programme includes surrealist classics by Man Ray, Jan Svankmajer and David Lynch, the “rhythmic documentary” of Geoffrey Jones, contemporary single-shot “video paintings” and the finale - a film that came to define the avant-garde - Luis Bunuel & Salvador Dali's 'Un Chien Andalou'.

Kieron Maguire provided all the musical accompaniment to the animation of the Paper Cinema at Forest Fringe last year.
