VOICE and Music at WHITESPACE
After a series of successful performances around Auckland in 2010, this March - Printable Reality is bringing their Multimedia Poetry Extravaganza to Ponsonby. Stellar line up of Auckland performance poets, musicians and dancers enhanced by magnificent visuals, will stage a full colour rainbow at theWhitespace.
The first of the bi-monthly live In VOICE and Music performance evenings kicks off with a special appearance from the AUT Dance Company and a line-up of poets and musicians on Thursday, March 10, 8PM at a popular art spot in Crummer Road.
Whitespace, a contemporary art gallery located in Ponsonby, presents a vigorous program of exhibitions throughout the year showing established and emerging artists.
Poets include Jerry Beale, Gus Simonovic and Kirsten Warner from the Printable Reality spoken word group which is hosting the series. Musicians are Kotaro Nishishita, Dubtext and Gareth Price. Video images by Peter Brierley-Millman.
Audience can expect to become part of the art as it happens, because it may be hard to distinguish the gallery’s sculptures from some of the other performers.
Poetic-kinetic-sculpture improvisational troupe The White Wall will be responding to the gallery space, art, people and nature, “and that means urban nature, green nature or human nature,” says dancer Siri Embla of The White Wall. "We relate - we make connections –stories, poems, sculpture … in a moment. We breathe - we are still - we move - we keep moving. "
