Inspire 52 - Week 35. A Black and White Colourfest

Well the summer continues and from one 'first' show to another, this week I performed the first stage version of the album Adventures Into The Monochronium, with Timo Peach form Momo:tempo.

It seems like a 'Golden Age' away since the creation of One Momo In Time and the beginning of our collaboration, Inspire 52 - Week 13. One Momo In Time , but Timo and Momo:tempo have become a core part of The Monochronium adventure. So I we did it ... our first 'Mono' show at a festival,
COLOURFEST

It was great doing the black and white work at Colourfest - I almost felt like starting a children's revelation 'Down with colour!' maybe next time! I was indeed a quirky and surreal injection into the festival and it was great to see so many smiley faces.

I find working with Timo, such an inspiration, we have a lot of synergy in our crazy imaginative and energetic approach to our work. Rehearsals have been a complete laugh, and we often find ourselves on the edge of insanity in fits of laughter - they best way to work right?!  Click on the images to enlarge

Adventures Into The Monochronium

A performance of poetry, spoken word and song

with Hazel Evans and Timo Peach

We invite you to step over the travelling line into The Kingdom of The Monochronium to experience a beautiful black and white world made up of inky lines, dots and marks. Get a ticket to your own imagination and hear poetic tales of the Paper Forest, Ink Mountains and take a trip down the river … where will it lead you?

Quirky poetry for all the family, tunes of busy bees for the children and morals to the stories for adults.

 

 

Kids and adults alike loved the show and we had an audience of about 70 people, of all ages. Parents bought the album for their children, but I think it was also secretly for them!

 

The wardrobe was a bit tricky in this festival environment ... I think I will only take her to galleries from now on!
