Phrased & Confused have commissioned myself and the composer Alexis Kirke to create a spoken word/musical multimedia feast that responds to the question: Which comes first? The Music or the Words?
You Said/I Said asks....if the poet is the words and the percussionist is the music, what would happen if the two of us got together? What kind of a relationship might we have? How would we communicate with each other and an audience? What happens when my speech becomes rhythm and his rhythm starts to communicate?
In a fifteen minute show, with Alexis behind the drum kit, me in front, and projection behind us both we will tell the story of our dysfunctional relationship and try to figure out what it was that brought us together then drove us apart - Was it the Words or the Music?
Commissioned by The Hub for Phrased & Confused and funded by Arts Council England |
