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.
