90 minutes to watch, 1 year
to make and a lifetime of benefit
The future of Bristol's talent is here now, in every
school in our city, just waiting to be given a chance
to shine. Repercussion 2006 aims to start the
search at the very first opportunity, even before the
talented ones know they have something to offer.
An evening at the Colston Hall in Bristol on March
13th 2006 showcased the culmination of our children's
newly discovered talents as well as celebrated their
achievements with a professional show of singing and
drumming from around the world, to continue the process
of inspiration and aspiration.
Over the past two years many local Bristol artists
and leading lights from around the
world have been working and encouraging our younger
generations to explore their
hidden musical and creative abilities through the many
mediums of art, dance and music.
The funding for these workshops, organised by Vic Ecclestone
from The Arts Development Unit at Bristol City Council,
has now finished. Repercussion 2006 will celebrate what
has been achieved and try to raise sponsorship so that
these workshops can be continued.
The show
The evening featured displays of art specially created
for the event by children from local primary schools.
Bristol artists Anji-Jane Cutler and Sarah Jessie Peyton
have been working on 3d installation/sculpture and 2d
textiles. Tony Orrell had been producing videos.
Performing in the show, alongside the professional
groups, were children from local primary schools, featuring
'Body Percussion', choreographed by Jack Kingslake.
A 'Sound Shape' procession orchestrated by Laurie French
and African drumming facilitated by Simon Carver.
You can find pictures from the event here.
A dvd of the show is available here.
